Audiences are quickly transported to Crean's Antarctic\, reliving his exploits as one of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive three famous expeditions: Discovery (1901 1904) Terra Nova (1910 1913) and Endurance (1914 1916).\n\n\n\nCrean's story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of 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".\n\nAwarded 'Best Solo Show' at its premiere at the 2003 New York International Festival and a Fringe First at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2006\, Tom Crean Antarctic Explorer is a grippingly vivid\, surprisingly funny account of sheer heroism in the face of impossible odds. \n\n"This magnetic revelation of a fascinating character\, simply compels a standing ovation" The Irish Times X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
