The Century Theatre in Coalville has a production of Maybe Dick on Saturday evening.

Come along for an evening of pure entertainment and big laughs on the high seas - with the adventures of Maybe Dick!

Created by John Hewer, based on the novel 'Moby-Dick' by Herman Melville and directed by Bruce Knight this is Herman Melville's classic tale of revenge and retribution, retold.

Experience an inventive, comedic adventure on the high seas from the company behind 'Just Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show' and 'Dracula! One Bloody Fang After Another'.

It's Nantucket, 1841. Ishmael signs on to the Pequod, and witnesses the perils of nature, obsession, punning and physical comedy, as Captain Ahab conducts a reckless pursuit of the savage white whale, Moby Dick.

All plots will be lampooned. All jokes will be harpooned!
