original title: The Burned Man
“The Hunting of the Snark” is a nonsense poem which borrows the setting and some creatures and words from Lewis Carroll’s earlier poem “Jabberwocky” in his novel “Through the Looking Glass.” The plot follows a ship’s crew hunting the Snark, an animal which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The only one of the crew to find the Snark quickly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that it was a Boojum after all. The crew consists of ten members, whose descriptions all begin with the letter B: a Bellman, a “Boots,” a Bonnet-maker, a Barrister, a Broker, a Billiard-marker, a Banker, a Butcher, a Beaver, and a Baker.
The poem has been adapted for musicals, opera, plays, and music. In 1987, Mike Batt recorded a concert in Royal Albert Hall of the early stage album of his "Snark" project. This early concert stars John Hurt, Roger Daltrey, Justin Hayward, Deniece Williams, Captain Sensible, Julian Lennon, Midge Ure, and Billy Connolly, with Batt conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. The music/lyrics/orchestrations are by Mike Batt and are based on Lewis Carroll’s poem (as recited in the narration). Here is the production in its entirety:
