Terra Nova

Directed By Glenda Campi

1911: Drawn from the journals and letters found on the frozen body of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, this epic Antarctic adventure unfolds on stage in all its stark tragedy. The action of the play blends scenes of the explorer and his men at various stages of their ordeal, with flashbacks of Scott and his young wife, and with fateful glimpses of his Norwegian rival Roald Amundsen, whose party beat him to the South Pole.

With chilling intensity, Terra Nova explores the heart of courage in a cold, competitive hell of adversity.

Academy Award-winning writer Ted Tally with the screenplay of Silence of The Lambs, brings his OBE Award-winning stage play masterpiece, the New York Times calls "a real life story as fascinating as any of man’s attempt to conquer his planet."

It is a haunting story of honour, duty, compassion, love and courage in the midst of a brutally unforgiving environment. This is the story of the Englishmen.
