TOM CREAN – ANTARCTIC EXPLORER

A MAJOR COUP FOR THEATRE NIGHTS
IN HOWTH GOLF CLUB

Our next Theatre Night in Howth Golf Club, on Friday January 17th, presents one of the most outstanding dramatic productions of the last twenty years in Irish and international theatre. Tom Crean, Antarctic Explorer has been, since its premiere in 2003, an outstanding international success playing to packed houses in New York, London, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Sydney and Dublin’s Gaiety and Olympia theatres.

Aidan Dooley, its creator and performer, has won Best Actor Awards at numerous worldwide festivals and we are thrilled to have him perform for our members in Howth Golf Club.

Tom Crean ranks up there with Scott and Shackleton as one of the great Antarctic explorers. He was a member of three of the four major British expeditions to Antarctica during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. His final expedition was with Shackleton on the Endurance.  When the Endurance became stuck in ice and sank, Crean was a participant in a series of dramatic events including months spent drifting on the ice, a journey in lifeoats to Elephant Island, and an open boat journey of 1,500 km from Elephant Island to South Georgia. Upon reaching South Georgia, Crean was one of the party of three which undertook the first land crossing of the island, without maps or proper mountaineering equipment, to get aid.

After this expedition, Crean wisely retired to his native Annascaul in Kerry where he opened up a public house, appropriately called the “South Pole Inn” where he lived quietly until his death in 1938.

Members will not only have the benefit of this marvellous dramatic story in close proximity in our Carrickbrack Room but they will also be spared paying Broadway or West End prices for their tickets. A limited number of tickets at €15 each are now on sale in the Club Bar. We expect this production to sell out quickly, so members are urged to make their bookings early.

Doors will open at 7.40pm, seating is unreserved and the show starts at 8pm.

We thank all our members for their enthusiastic support in 2013 and wish you all every happiness and success in 2014.

Regards,

EILEEN GILROY
Acting Social Convenor
