Description
Touching the Void by David Greig explores the human spirit's capacity for strength and imagination in the face of extreme adversity. Based on the true story of Joe Simpson's survival on Siula Grande mountain, this theatrical fantasia delves into the world of Alpine climbing and the sensual joy of the mountains. As the story unfolds, a harrowing moment of decision-making by Simpson's partner Simon Yates becomes a turning point in their struggle for survival. Tense, funny and inquisitive, Touching the Void examines the mind's remarkable reserves of resilience when faced with the edge of death. Premiering at Bristol Old Vic in September 2018, this book is an adaptation of Joe Simpson's international bestseller, now reimagined for the stage by David Greig.
