Hunter or Hunted?
Theatre Talk: Moby Dick
with Gail Wylie

Herman Melville’s epic tale of the search for Moby Dick by Captain Ahab and his crew is more puzzling than it appears. Who is hunting whom? Gail Wylie enters the hunt for the possible meanings behind this famous novel.

Chair of the BOOKMARK Book Festival, Gail Wylie began her career in education as an English teacher before joining the adult education department (now called the Centre of Lifelong Learning) at the University of Edinburgh where she became the Course Organiser for Literature and Creative Writing. Over her fourteen years there, she developed the Certificate in Theatre Studies.

Gail has given pre-theatre talks for many visiting productions to Edinburgh’s Festival and King’s Theatres and helped launch the Perth Theatre Season Subscription Theatre Talks in early 2023 along with Joyce Caplan.
