Our next show, on Sunday
6th November at 7pm, has
won multiple awards - from a "Fringe First" in Edinburgh to
"Best Solo Performance" at the New York International Fringe Festival
- and has played sell-out performances throughout the UK, Ireland, Australia
and the USA.
Presented by Play on Words Theatre, Tom Crean - Antarctic Explorer, is written and performed by Aidan Dooley and tells the riveting true story of one of Ireland's unsung heroes, Tom Crean, who served with both Scott and Shackleton and survived the three famous expeditions, Discovery (1901-1904), Terra Nova (1910-1913) and Endurance (1914-16).

His 36-mile solitary trek to base camp to rescue his comrades
Teddy Evans and William Lashly has been described as "the finest feat of
individual heroism from the entire age of exploration." Crean was
subsequently awarded the Albert Medal for his bravery.

"By the end, you almost believed you’d been there too, so
perfectly does Dooley conjure the jaw-dropping battles against the elements and
perilous hazards of the frozen south. It’s enough to make your hair stand on
end." The Daily Telegraph
