Terra Nova is a thrilling and extraordinarily inventive dramatisation of Captain Robert Scott’s expedition to the South Pole in 1911.
Playwright Ted Tally dramatises the expedition by presenting Scott’s semi-delirious dream states and flashbacks: a presentation to the Royal Geographical Society, his courtship of and relationship with his wife Kathleen and, most tellingly, his imagined conversations with Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian who won the race to the pole.
On this frozen landscape, a fascinating insight into the nature of heroism, competition, hubris and humanity’s irrational drive for conquest unfolds into a gripping adventure tale.
To celebrate the re-opening of our theatre, Monday will be a Gala Evening.

The evening will feature the first night performance of our current production Terra Nova, a glass of fizz and nibbles on arrival, and the opportunity to explore and utilise the theatre’s exquisite new interiors. Doors open at 6.45pm for this performance only. Only a few tickets left
