Antarctic Endeavours

Ruckus Theatre is thrilled to present Antarctic Endeavours, coming soon to the Fringe Festival this Summer!

What is Antarctic Endeavours?

For most people, the idea of venturing to the South Pole seems frightening, demanding, and yes, cold. But for Tom and Suzanne Denborough, newlyweds, who were married in 1949, it offers something more! Join us as we explore the depths of the coldest place on earth, where our fears of loneliness, lukewarm tea, and marriage come to the surface of the ice.

Antarctic Endeavours is a 75 minute absurdist play co-written by Ava O’Brien and Alex Quinn, and directed by Peggie Barnes. The play crosses boundaries of time and reality, and explores the inner minds of those who cannot hide from the audience.
