Travels with Tom Crean Summary

Travels with Tom Crean by Aidan Dooley

TWO MEN Tom Crean, the Kerryman, whose phenomenal feats of bravery in the unexplored Antarctic earned him a rare medal for valour, pinned on him by King George. Aidan Dooley, the Galway man, who rejected a job in the bank for a life on the stage. ONE STORY In this enthralling, funny and moving account, actor Aidan Dooley tells the story of his journey with Tom Crean. His one- man show about this unsung hero grew from an unknown play with an unknown actor into an award-winning hit that has been performed from Dublin to Dubai, and from Broadway to the Antarctic ice. This is a tale of fortitude and courage - on stage and in the savage beauty at the bottom of the world.

Travels with Tom Crean Reviews

Praise for the Play Tom Crean - Antarctic Explorer: 'An unparalleled portrayal.' New York Times; '[His] words create adventure just as vivid as the special effects in a Hollywood bonanza.' Variety; 'You almost believe you'd been there, so perfectly does Dooley conjure the jawdropping battles against the elements and perilous hazards.' The Daily Telegraph; 'Magnetic revelation of a fascinating character.' The Irish Times; 'A pleasure, the kind of piece that gives an insight into unseen and unsung lives.' The Guardian

About Aidan Dooley

Like his muse, who ran away at 15 to join the Navy, Aidan Dooley didn't stick to the safe option. From the Claddagh in Galway, he left a secure bank job to follow his dream. He kept the faith through his early struggles as a jobbing actor until Tom Crean changed his life. He has since toured his hugely successful solo show all over the world. A co-director of Play on Words Theatre Company, he lectures in drama at Canterbury Christ Church University.
