Shackleton and the Endurance
Players’ Theatre, Nelson Street, Thame at 7.45pm. Friday, July 25. A unique account of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic, 1914-1916, originally presented as a Magic Lantern Show in cities up and down the country to raise funds for the next expedition.
Dr Leonard Hussey’s original script and Frank Hurley’s dramatic pictures, first used in 1919, tell this most remarkable and moving account of courage and leadership. Narrated by Tony Long, the show is brought by courtesy of Mrs Jeanetta Clarke. All tickets
