Tom Crean – Antarctic Explorer

This event has ended

Online, Saturday 14th November

Brought to life on screen for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home, this is the multi-award winning story of an ordinary man who embarked upon an extraordinary adventure.

Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, is vividly brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley.

Hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic explorations, as one of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive the three famous expeditions: Discovery (1901–1904), Terra Nova (1910–1913), and Endurance (1914-1916).

Crean’s story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of the Antarctic, his 36-mile, solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades Teddy Evans and William Lashly has been described by Antarctic historians as “the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration”. He was subsequently awarded the Albert Medal for his bravery.

This multi-award winning show has now played critically acclaimed sell-out performances throughout Ireland, USA, Australia, Europe and the UK.
