SPLIT KNUCKLE THEATRE │ ENDURANCE
Created by Split Knuckle Theatre in collaboration with Nick Ryan
Friday, October 16 at 8 p.m., Bowker Auditorium
Office comedy melded with Antarctic adventure! Trapped in Antarctica with no hope of rescue, the great British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton kept 27 men alive for two years in the most inhospitable climate on earth. Ninety-five years later in the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression, Hartford insurance man Walter Spivey relives Shackleton’s story, struggling to justify his recent promotion and save his employees’ jobs. Can one of the greatest leaders in human history inspire him to conquer the corporate world?
“...Wowing audiences with humor, innovation, and high-energy performances!” –
