The play, written by Marion Bower and Anthony Ellis, offers a compelling exploration of themes that pitched patriotic principles against rank commercialism, set against the backdrop of the British Empire. The image transports us back to the 1920s, a time when the tented theatre was a popular form of entertainment. The stage, adorned with intricately designed tents, creates an air of excitement and anticipation. The explorers' costumes, complete with pith helmets and leather boots, add to the adventurous spirit of the production.
