Touching The Void by David Greig

In 1985, experienced climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the unconquered face of a remote Andean mountain. It turned out to be an epic battle for survival against seemingly insurmountable odds.

The stage adaptation of this amazing true story follows in the footsteps of a critically acclaimed documentary, but rather than just explore what happened, this play also examines underlying themes of motivation, friendship and ethics, asking - and answering - why anyone would "launch themselves up the side of a mountain at extreme risk to life and limb".
