This
play by David Holman was directed by Ben Hennessy. It was based
on a true story about how, for the first time, the US Navy and
USSR Navy co-operated on an attempt to save the lives of a family
of whales, which was stranded by ice in Arctic waters.
The
show was the first large-scale production by WYD which placed
an emphasis on the use of a set and costumes. It played to a very
enthusiastic audience for one week in December 1990 at Garter
Lane Arts Centre.
