Shred Productions

Shred Productions presents the world première of South, a moving and powerful new play by the creative team that brought you Sherica (2012 Manchester Theatre Award Winner) and Wednesday (2011 Edinburgh Fringe Award Winner).

Antarctica, 1962, when ‘going south’ meant 12 months cut off from the outside world. Discovering upon arrival that his fiancée back home is pregnant, biologist Daniel puts ambition above his religious beliefs and stays. Seeking solace in his work, he uncovers disturbing evidence of the environmental disaster mankind may yet bring about. Teetering on the edge of depression, Daniel’s life is forever changed by his friendship with young dog-sledger, Jim. And then news reaches them of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

“This company’s gift is to be able to tell a simple story, simply, yet allow you access to the hidden, magical layers.” Edinburgh Fringe Review
