Best-selling book, award-winning film and now adapted for the stage by playwright David Greig, Touching the Void is one of the greatest true stories of adventure and survival.

Battered by freezing winds on an unstable snow-cliff high in the Andes and desperate to help his injured climbing partner who dangles from a rope below him, Simon Yates faces an appalling dilemma. Knowing they will both fall into the void beneath them, he cuts the line – a decision that will change their lives forever. In a deep crevasse from which he cannot possibly climb to safety, Joe Simpson teeters in mental anguish on the brink of death.

Staged by Tony Award-winner and Bristol Old Vic Artistic Director Tom Morris (The Grinning Man, War Horse, Swallows & Amazons) and adapted for the stage by award-winning writer and Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh Artistic Director David Greig (The Events, The Lorax, The Suppliant Women), this almost unbearably tense drama will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

攀登峰顶的舞台上，兴奋莫名；在死亡边缘的阶梯时，无力绝望。

在直视死亡的一刻，心情跌宕起伏，无力求生，更失去友情中的信任与支持，冰雪般的残酷在友伴间隐伏......

改编自乔‧辛普森的畅销传记《攀越冰峰》，其真实攀山经历及心路历程，震撼人心。曾被改编成电影，并于2004年获英国电影学院奖最佳电影的殊荣。

1985年，辛普森与西蒙‧叶慈一同挑战秘鲁的秀拉格兰德山。二人虽成功登顶，辛普森却在回程时意外跌断了一条腿。叶慈欲以绳索救辛普森，却因风雪渐强，辛普森生死未卜，只能做出割断绳索的痛苦决定......

《攀越冰峰》由《战马》导演、东尼奖得主汤‧莫里斯执导，《祈愿女之歌》的编剧戴维‧葛利格改编，四大英京剧院联合制作，首度把这个慑人心脾的事迹搬上舞台。预备你的心神，命悬一线，屏息以待。
