Western Gold Theatre, in association with CelticFest Vancouver, presents the Play on Words Theatre production of
TOM CREAN – Discovering Antarctica, Heroic Tales of Scott, Crean & Shackleton
Written and Performed by Aidan Dooley
November 7 – 24, 2024
PAL Studio Theatre, 581 Cardero St. in Vancouver
Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, is brought to vivid 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 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.
Western Gold Theatre is at PAL Studio Theatre, 581 Cardero St., Van., Vancouver, BC.
