Polar Opposites: Amundsen, Scott, and the Race For The Pole recounts heroic and tragic events in Antarctica one hundred years ago. Scott and his four companions fought their way to the Pole only to find the Norwegian flag flying there: Amundsen had beaten him by five weeks. Crushed by disappointment, utterly exhausted and short on food and fuel, Scott and his companions froze and starved to death on the return journey, just eleven miles from a huge cache of provisions and supplies. This a tale of the agony and the ecstasy, of accomplishment and failure, of a glorious victory overshadowed by an even more glorious defeat. Mawson's Mettle: Alone On The Wide Shores Of The World. 
This past January, 2010 PST was 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 in 2008 and 2009, 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. Shackleton's Antartic Nightmare: The 1914 Voyage of The Endurance. 
January, 2008 and 2009, Lawrence Howard mesmorized audiences with the telling of an epic 2-1/2 hour tale of Antarctic adventure that he wrote. This is the gripping, heart-breaking, true story of British explorer, Ernest Shackleton, and the Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914. Shackleton's dream of being the first to cross the Antarctic continent on foot became a nightmare when his valiant ship, the Endurance, was crushed in the pack-ice of the Weddell Sea. The story of how he and the twenty-seven men of the expedition survived on the ice and eventually came to safety is an epic tale of hardship and suffering, of courage, determination and fortitude. Lawrence expects to bring back Shackleton's Antartic Nightmare in January 2012. |
