And if you live in Sydney, New South Wales, or plan on visiting between Nay 23rd & June 17 2023, then you should visit the Sydney Theatre Company’s website and purchase tickets to see Do Not Go Gentle. This show also follows Robert Scott’s historic attempt to reach the South Pole. Written by Patricia Cornelius, she brings her unflinching honesty to bear on this moving exploration of human frailty at the ends of the Earth.
I’m hoping to go see this show myself but you can also find a link to the Sydney Theatre Company here.
