The enormously popular award-winning television adventurer Steve Backshall talks about his expeditions, encounters with wild wonders, the mysteries of the natural world and his brand new novel 'Tiger Wars'. Read more …
The event will feature film clips of the animals that have inspired him and there will be an opportunity for audience Q&A's.
The breadth of Backshall’s knowledge can also be a disadvantage. The first half of the show feels bitty and disorganised because of the sheer number of items squeezed into it. In the second half, where Backshall tells the story of a single expedition to find tigers in Bhutan, the show really comes into its own. It’s impossible not to get emotionally involved, and it’s tempting to run out of the theatre screaming for the blood of tiger poachers.
