		They made their way back to South Georgia just after noon, but again, it was a coast of huge breakers and sheer cliffs that greeted them.

		From the sophisticated comedy of Sheridan and Wilde to Boucicault's melodrama, Shaw's social satire, and Samuel Beckett's endgame absurdism, the wee isle off the west coast of Britain has provided more than its share of the world's theatrical sparkle during the past two centuries.
		Many, however, will be mesmerized by the theatrical world created from Charlotte Brontë's gothic romance by the L.A. songwriter Paul Gordon and his collaborator, John Caird, who are returning the story to its proper melodramatic roots, using Gordon's pop-ballad melodies to enhance mood and drama.
		Caird, the director and co-librettist, has won Tony Awards for his work on two adaptations of nineteenth-century novels -- Les Misérables and the Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed The Life and Times of Nicholas Nickleby.

		Dividing the party and leaving 21 men on the island under the leadership of his second in command, Frank Wild, Shackleton and five others set out to cross 800 miles of raging ocean in a 22 1/2-foot boat, the James Caird, with a makeshift canvas-covered deck and a two-masted sailing rig.
		But they were not safe yet -- they were on the west coast of the island, 22 miles from the Norwegian Stromness station.
		The crossing from Elephant to South Georgia, amid howling gales and blizzards (a 500-ton steamer in the area sank at the same time), was by itself historic, but the whole epic of survival is incomparable in modern times.
