Tom Crean (1877-1938) the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes is brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley.
Audience Reaction:
We came to Tom Crean and LOVED it, consequently I think we’ll be at every event from now on!
…………………
I have recently attended the last performance and was completely taken by it.
…………………
I absolutely loved it – probably one of the best things I have ever seen – thanks
…………………
What a fantastic show, my only regret is we didn’t take our boys with us.
Thanks a million to you and GLAS for tracking that one down.
………………….
We all thought the performance was INCREDIBLE. Very powerful.
………………….
This was my first visit to a GLAS event and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. A big well done to everyone who helped make it the success it clearly was. And I won the raffle! Looking forward to many future events.

Just want to say how much we enjoyed Aidan Dooley’s performance on Wednesday. It was a great evening and we loved every minute of it. I know it took a lot of hard work to organise but it was certainly worth it.
It was also good to see the number of people who turned up, you must have been very pleased.

One more time, thank you very much for the wonderful show that GLAS has arranged and, of course, for the whisky, book and the free tickets for the next show.
The whisky and book I will keep, but the thickets I plan to give to some friends so they also become “hooked” on your wonderful shows and start contributing to your good cause.
Thanks a lot again.

GREAT evening…. How does the guy manage to keep up the monologue for two hours?
Book us in for two for the next one. Saw The Seafarer in London.
………………………..
Just wanted to congratulate you for the show last night !
It was superb ! Enjoyed every minute, a fantastic performance and an
incredible story !
Will have the book on the Christmas list
See you soon
……………..
Just to say that last night’s theatre was quite something … I got so
into the Scott expedition that physically (all that superhuman effort)
and emotionally (the strength of mind of a single man) I couldn’t handle Shackleton. But I will prepare myself and hopefully get to see it in full in the UK.
Thank you for a wonderful arrangement.. what a fabulous choice!

Thank you for organising the wonderful performance last night, It was truly magnificent. We all left with memories of laughter and were also sometimes moved to tears by Aidan Dooley’s performance. Very touching and immensely moving. The volunteers did a fantastic job and even though I did not win anything in the raffle (obviously fixed!) I was very happy to know that the proceeds are going to such a good cause.
………………………..
Congratulations to a great show last night! Fantastic!
……………..
Well done. Great evening.
Looking forward to the next one.
