“As far as I can take you” – the Life of Conrad Kain is presented by Parks Canada’s Mountain WIT in celebration of the Conrad Kain Centennial and Canada's mountain national parks.
This new one-man play traces the journey of the Alpine Club of Canada's first professional mountain guide from his humble beginnings in the Austrian Alps through his most famous triumph in the Canadian Rockies: the summit of Mount Robson. The play is inspired by Kain's own words - gathered from personal letters - describing his experience as an immigrant to Canada, his "principles of guiding," and his deep love of natural beauty. Actor Phillip Nugent embodies Kain's gregarious quick wit, connecting audiences to this mountaineering legend who continues to inspire generations of climbers.
