Science on Stage presentation: Counting Icebergs
Counting Icebergs
Elizabeth Cook's world with her husband Captain James Cook was
just the tip of the iceberg. This imaginative staged reading
written by award-winning Australian playwright Frances Rouse, and
directed by Colleen Curran (B.Ed '81), explores her difficult,
often lonely existence below the waterline as we discover her at
three passages in her life.
Actors to be announced. In Auditorium.

X-ray image is the first eye-witness painting
of Antarctica by William Hodges, one of James Cook's official
landscape artists for the 1772 voyage aboard the Resolution. It
shows two icebergs in turbulent seas and was undiscovered for 200
years because the artist painted a more idyllic scene over
it.
