Tom Crean – Antarctic Explorer

Presented by: Antarctic Heritage Trust

Christchurch, Thursday 27 March 2014

“A charming, funny, perfectly pitched account of an ordinary man who helped turn the wheels of history.” The Scotsman.

Irishman Tom Crean was one of the few men to serve with both Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton and survive three famous expeditions to the Antarctic.

Ireland’s Aidan Dooley brings to life Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer, with his dramatic and humorous solo performance. Hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s adventures and courage in the face of impossible odds in this award-winning show.
