Shackleton’s Antarctic Nightmare

This is the story of how Ernest Shackleton and the 27 men of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 survived on the ice and eventually came to safety. It is a heroic tale of hardship and suffering, of courage, determination and fortitude.

This rendition of Shackleton’s Antarctic Nightmare debuted in January 2019 as part of the Fertile Ground Festival. It is an amazing collaboration between storyteller Lawrence Howard and cellist Laurent Nickel, with visuals by experience design developer Michael Hill. Together, they’ve created an immersive audio/visual experience that audiences love. There is only one more chance to hear this story.
