"The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits
)" is a nonsense
poem written by
Lewis Carroll in 1842, and describes an impossible voyage with most unlikely characters to find an unimaginable horrid creature. Carroll fans will recognize borrowings from “Jabberwocky” in the work. The HSC production was adapted and directed by John Bollard.
