This January 22nd, 23rd, 29th and 30th, 2010
PST is pleased to present
another true, epic tale of Antarctic adventure written and told by Lawrence Howard.
Part of Fertile Ground, this world-premiere is about Douglas Mawson, a veteran of one of Shackleton's
earlier voyages, who led an Australian expedition to the frozen continent
in 1911.
Out sledging with two other men, Mawson was thrown into peril when one of the sledges -- along
with the six best dogs, most of the food and equipment, and one of his companions -- was lost
in a deep crevasse. After his second companion and the rest of the dogs died, Mawson struggled
against freezing temperatures, 80 mile-per-hour winds, loneliness, grief, illness and starvation,
pulling his one remaining sled for hundreds of miles.
If you saw the Shackleton show the last two years, this new show is not to be missed. Mawson's Mettle
is an epic story of survival and determination and courage to rival the Shackleton saga.
Lawrence Howard gives another mesmerizing performance that will move you to the depths of your soul.
