Tyne Theatre and Opera House are thrilled to welcome
best-selling author, photographer and TV presenter Levison Wood to their stage to share his fascinating experiences
and exploits as a modern day explorer.
With his keen desire to immerse himself fully in local
cultures and customs, Levison Wood has delighted audiences around the globe with
stories of his epic adventures, ranging from being chased by crocodiles and
hippos in Africa, shot at by gunmen, falling off a mountain, being arrested
more times than he can remember and meeting such illustrious characters as the
Dalai Lama and George Clooney along the way.
In this adventure-filled one-man show, Levison
recounts his amusing and sometimes poignant tales of life as a soldier in the
Parachute Regiment and his subsequent transition into an explorer of
international standing. His latest tour will include further tales and behind
the scenes moments from his journeys walking the length of the Nile and the
Himalayas, both of which were documented by Channel 4, alongside his most
recent travels walking 1700 miles along the length of Central America, taking
in 8 countries from Mexico to Colombia and his bid to cross the treacherous
Darien Gap.
With his honest accounts of life on the road, Levison
hopes to challenge our preconceptions and inspire a new generation of
adventurers with tales of hope and hospitality, firmly believing the more
people go out and see the world, the better a place it will be. His shows have
received rave reviews both across the UK
and internationally.
Levison Wood’s forthcoming documentary series ‘Walking
The Americas’ will air on Channel 4 in early spring 2017, whilst his book of
the same name will be published by Hodder & Stoughton in February.
