‘Aidan Dooley gives a compelling solo performance in this ripping good yarn about real-life adventurer Tom Crean...the charismatic Dooley recounts the riveting tale of an ordinary man who showed extraordinary courage’. – Robert Dominguez, New York Daily New

‘After seeing Tom Crean, the Antarctic Explorer in 2006 at Mermaid, I am really looking forward to its return as part of our 10year celebrations.  It is a remarkable piece of theatre that gives an insight to an ordinary man who helped to turn the wheels of history.  Aiden Dooley’s performance is outstanding and I would highly recommend this wonderful event’. – Selected Show, Fionnuala Downes, Administrator (since 2004)
