Tom's A-Cold 

On May 19, 1845, HMS Terror and Erebus set sail from London to find a Northwest Passage over the Canadian Arctic and across into the Pacific. Neither ship nor crew ever returned from this doomed Franklin Expedition.

Two men sit in a lifeboat, ravaged by malnutrition and hunger, haunted by dreams of home, and by each other. They joke, they tell stories, they quarrel, and they fight. And slowly, they must come to terms with the awful truths of their predicament.

Written by David Egan, who shared his wonderful play, Fly-Bottle with us 2 seasons ago.  Tom's A-Cold is performed by David and Paul Baker.  Hope you can come!
