The Irish Club of Luxembourg (ICL) and the Luxembourg branch of Comhaltas Ceolteoiri Eireann are joining forces to bring over Aidan Dooley for two performance of his hit one-man show “Tom Crean – Antarctic Explorer” on Friday 27 & Saturday 28 April 2018 at the Centre Culturel Altrimenti (5 Avenue Marie-Therese, Luxembourg-ville), at 19:30.

Synopsis: Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, is brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley. Hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic explorations as one of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive the three famous expeditions: Discovery, (1901–1904); Terra Nova (1910-1913); and Endurance (1914-1916). Crean’s story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of the Antarctic, his 36 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. This multi-award winning show has now played critically acclaimed sell-out performances throughout.

Thanks to the sponsors: Kerry Group, Atoz, Joe Huggard Consulting & ILCC for their financial support, and to the Hotel le Royal and Luxair for their sponsorship.
