Explorers: The Age of Discovery with James May at O2 Apollo

James May’s landmark live theatre show Explorers: The Age of Discovery is set to land in Manchester. The Top Gear and Grand Tour host will bring to life the stories of the extraordinary explorers who traversed the deserts, scaled the mountains and sailed into the unknown. The live show will combine theatrical techniques with James’ charismatic storytelling to create an evening of compelling intellectual entertainment.

‘Live on stage, James May will unravel the breathtaking tales of humankind from the earliest wanderings of ancient hunter-gatherers to the intrepid, often obsessive explorers, among them Lief Ericson, John Cabot, James Cook’s navigator Tupaia, Stanley and Livingstone, Gertrude Bell, through to the moon walkers, space exploration and the seemingly impossible challenges of interplanetary and intergalactic travel.’
