Explorers: The Age of Discovery with James May

James May premieres a landmark live theatre show, bringing to life the stories of the extraordinary explorers who traversed the deserts, scaled the mountains, sailed into the unknown.

From Ice Age migrations to space travel, the stories of famous, infamous and unknown explorers will come to life. The live show combines theatrical techniques and James’ charismatic storytelling to create an evening of compelling entertainment. May is best known as a co-presenter of the motoring programs Top Gear and The Grand Tour, and as the host of the Our Man in… television series.

Few endeavours have captured the imagination and spirit of humanity as profoundly as exploration. Audiences will embark on an awe-inspiring journey through time and space. They will discover the stories of those who risked (and sometimes gave) everything, driven by insatiable curiosity and an unquenchable thirst for discovery, pushing back the boundaries of the unexplored regions of the world, and now, the universe.
