Winner of Fringe First in Edinburgh 2006
Aidan Dooleys award winning one-man play tells the heroic tale of Tom Crean (1877 1938), the intrepid, Irish Antarctic explorer and the only man to serve with Scott and Shackleton on three famous expeditions: Discovery, (1901 1904); Terra Nova (1910 1913); and Endurance (1914 - 1916).
Written and performed by Dooley the story, a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of Antarctica, is brought to life in this dramatic solo performance. Creans thirty-six 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.
