Polar inspiration - an evening of short plays

Mon 13 April 2015

The Polar Museum

Four fully staged short plays written by local writers, inspired by a tour of the Polar Museum. From icebergs to volunteer museum helpers, spirits of the Poles and statues of the brave explorers, characters freezing to death, falling in and out of love, hating and protecting each other. By the end of the evening you will be questioning the ethical, political and personal aspects of the polar expeditions but also find new meanings in a stuffed polar bear or a winter parka.

7:30pm - 8.40pm The Plays
