Two invincible explorers. One final conquest. This acclaimed drama from a multiple Fringe First winning team charts the incredible journey of two of the world’s most revered explorers. Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott were heroes from a time when the world had one remaining corner to be conquered – the South Pole.

Based on their actual expedition diaries, this show interweaves the two journeys into a thrilling story of adventure and extreme human endeavour, transporting us to an alien landscape as unimaginably hostile as it is awe-inspiring. The journey ended in victory for just one team. But could the other cope with being ‘the last south’?
