Tom Crean show - October
- Thread starter (RIP) Bin Ridin
- Start date
Aidan caught it last year and is trying to talk me into going 
I brought my wife to it in the Olympia. We showed up 10 minutes before the show to pick up the tickets at the box office, but they couldn't find our tickets. This was for the evening show-I had unwittingly booked for the matinee-Muppet.
The staff could not have been more helpful, they just rebooked us for the evening show, no charge and we ended up in better seats.
My wife wasn't too keen on going but after the show She thought it was fab-wants to go again.

The big man is talking sense Mandy. This is a "must see" show, which brilliantly tells the fascinating story of perhaps Ireland's greatest explorer. This, together with "Chronicles of Long Kesh" should be on everyone's bucket list!
G'wan G'wan we both can't be wrong
Excellent show.
Great story, brilliantly told with a bit of humour thrown in.
Go see it, Mandy. You'll love it.

Went to the show last night, unexpectedly met a neighbour on the way in and a niece on the way out - small town.
Very enjoyable, yer man crafts a good yarn, and mixes entertainment and education. He describes the expeditions and the conditions vividly.
Recommended!

Been there, done that.
Went to this afternoon's show.
One of the best one man shows I have ever seen in my life, with a great mix of humour, pathos and excellent storytelling.
I felt I was there with Crean, both on the Robert Scott expedition, with the pain of survival, and the loss of Scott and 4 others, and the absolute triumph on the Shackelton expedition where 22 men survived for months on Elephant Island, whilst Shackelton, Crean and 5 others performed the greatest feat of navigation in history, rowing 600 miles to South Georgia Island, with only 4 sightings of the Sun in 16 days to get their bearings, and managed to get to the whaling station. Even then, rescue was not assured, because Britain had a war to fight in Europe, and these people were classed as "expendable".
A show not to be missed.
