Touching the Void by David Greig

Touching the Void by David Greig

Presented by Apollinaire Theatre Company at Chelsea Theatre Works

"A TRIUMPH OF RESOLVE AND INNOVATION…PROVES ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN THE THEATRE."- THE GUARDIAN

Based on Joe Simpson’s bestselling memoir turned BAFTA-winning film, David Greig’s thrilling adaptation charts this astonishing feat of human endurance. Life-affirming and often darkly funny, Touching the Void takes the audience on an epic adventure that asks how far you’d be willing to go to survive.

Touching the Void recounts Joe Simpson’s struggle for survival after an accident leaves him stranded with a shattered leg on Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. His climbing partner, Simon Yates, attempts a near-impossible rescue, but when Joe disappears over an ice cliff, Simon, battered by freezing winds and tethered to his injured partner, makes the heart-wrenching decision to cut the rope.
