One of the many reasons the Split Knuckle Theatre Endurance project is so compelling is the wealth of material available on the source. Ever since we found this project, we've been collecting that material. We think you'll appreciate the performance even more if you immerse yourself in the history behind it. We offer you a wealth of online resources and media about Shackleton's Expedition, his team, his whiskey, the legacy and the Split Knuckle Theatre's Endurance project.
