About the show
A Play On Words Theatre Production, Written & Performed by Aidan Dooley
Following it’s sold out nights here in 2018 and in 2022, Aidan Dooley’s brilliant production of Tom Crean – Antarctic Explorer comes back to the ICC by public demand!
See the multi-award winning theatre show about Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, who’s brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley.
Hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic explorations. Crean was one of the few men to serve with both Captian Scott and Ernest Shackleton and to 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 36mile 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. This is another chance to see it here London.
