About Shackleton and his Stowaway
Shackleton and his Stowaway is based on the real events of the legendary Endurance expedition to Antarctica. It follows the misfortunes of an 18 year old stowaway who sneaks aboard. Initially, the stowaway is in complete awe of Shackleton. But this fades by the time Shackleton has gotten them trapped in the polar ice pack - even more so when Endurance actually breaks up and sinks. This leaves them adrift on the ice, hundreds of miles from civilisation. Shackleton and his Stowaway was written by Andy Dickinson. Andy has produced for the Olivier Award winning playwrights Grae Cleugh and Jack Shepherd. Simone Coxall, theatre and movement director, has directed The Tempest, Vinegar Tom, Orpheus and Eurydice, Don Juan Comes Back from The War, and Our Country's Good, amongst various other productions in London. Richard Ede, whose credits include playing the lead in a UK Tour of The 39 Steps, will be playing the role of Shackleton. Elliott Ross, who has appeared in Queen Anne and Love for Love with the RSC, will be playing the role of The Stowaway.
