Winner of Fringe First in Edinburgh 2006

Written and performed by Dooley the story, a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of Antarctica, is brought to life in this dramatic solo performance. Crean’s thirty-six 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.
