The Sydney Morning Herald picked The Explorers Club: Antarctica as one to see this Sydney Fringe!

What a nice way to start the morning... the august Sydney Morning Herald picked The Explorers Club: Antarctica in their roundup of shows to see at this year's Sydney Fringe. 'A multimedia extravaganza of folk song, spoken word, storytelling and haunting imagery...' crikey!  I'd see that.

We're really excited about the next couple of months, we've got some great shows coming up in China, NZ, and Australia including the Melbourne and Sydney Fringe Festivals.  Tickets for Sydney are here, and Melbourne are here.

See you at the shows!

If you've never heard about our show before and you've just clicked through from somewhere, hello.

Our show is about Captain Scott, Ernest Shackleton and the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.  We tell stories, we sing songs, we project illustrations and photographs, we make people cry a little and laugh a little and celebrate the indomitable spirit of that titanic age.  We get very nice reviews for it and people tell us they like it a lot, we enjoy doing it and we're looking forward to bringing it to Australia.
