Terra Nova
by Ted Tally

May 19th - June 4th, 2006

An extraordinary inventive play, produced to national acclaim at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Dealing with the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of Englishman Robert Scott, the story is drawn from Scott's own journals and letters. With flashbacks and fateful glimpses of Scott's Norwegian rival, Roald Amundsen, who beat Scott to the South Pole, the play captures the scope and personalitites crucial to this compelling study of heroism in the face of bitter failure.
