Discovering Antarctica

Discovering Antarctica is a multiple award-winning show that has been performed from Dublin to Dubai, and from Broadway to Antarctica and won critical acclaim.
Discovering Antarctica: heroic tales of explorers Shackleton, Crean and Scott, written and performed by Adrian Dooley.
The play takes you to the edge of your seat and beyond as it re-enacts many of the era’s heroic endeavours.
Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, is brought to life in this dramatic, enthralling and entertaining piece by Adrian Dooley. He shares the riveting stories of the only man who served alongside Scott and Shackleton in three of the most daring expeditions to the great white continent, including Shackleton’s ill-fated Endurance expedition. This includes Crean’s infamous 36 mile solitary trek during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades – described by Antarctic historians as, ‘The finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration.’
Crean’s story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of Antarctica.
