Terra Nova is the story of Captain Scott’s expedition to the South Pole in the winter of 1911–12. Five Englishmen and five Norwegians raced each other to the bottom of the Earth. Only the Norwegians returned. The discovery that Amundsen has preceded him, the bravery and suffering of his team, the self–sacrifice of Captain Oates, and the final tragedy, are recounted in a mixture of fantasy and realism that underlines both the human and the epic qualities of the adventure. In this unique production, Wellesley College will explore this very male experience.
