About the Play
Sailing Towards My Father is a one-man play about Herman Melville (1819–1891), the American author best known for his whaling epic Moby-Dick.
Written and directed by Carl A. Rossi, the play chronicles Melville’s life from youth to old age, concentrating on his evolution as a writer and his complex relationships with God, his parents and siblings, his wife and children, and fellow author Nathaniel Hawthorne. This insightful production offers audiences a vivid and intimate portrayal of one of America’s most influential literary figures.
“Stephen Collins gives a passionate, heartfelt portrayal of Herman Melville … It is altogether funny, poignant and riveting. A show not to be missed!”
— Lesley Herzberg, Executive Director of the Berkshire County Historical Society, at Herman Melville’s Arrowhead.
