WEDNESDAY
MAY 5
WHITES TAVERN 8.00PM
Aidan Dooley 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).
Tom Crean’s story, a testament of human fortitude against
all the elements of Antarctica, is brought to life in this dramatic
solo performance. Crean’s 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.
