This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

A surreal collage artwork showing a woman falling toward the ocean, with a whale’s tail rising from the water below her. The image has a dreamlike, vintage quality in shades of blue and grey.
Casey Jay Andrews stands at the centre of a dimly lit stage, addressing an audience seated in traverse. In front of her is a small wooden table with a model ship. The atmosphere is dramatic and focused.
Casey Jay Andrews, lit in blue stage light, stands on a traverse stage between rows of seated audience members. She is mid-speech, smiling and gesturing animatedly toward the crowd in an intimate theatre setting.

The Wild Unfeeling World

A tender, furious and fragile reimagining of Moby Dick from multi award winning writer & storyteller Casey Jay Andrews.

It’s 4.30am: Dylan is lying on the roof-top of a multi-storey car park in South West London, she watches as jumbo-jets rumble into the crisp dawn. A surreal & lyrical suburban fable about recklessly seeking something that is out of your grasp.
