Tickets are £10 each and available via our Eventbrite page HERE

The play

John Harper and Joseph Ismay. Passengers on the Titanic. A church minister and an executive of the White Star Line. One a hero, one a coward. Both have a story to tell. 

That ill–fated crossing generated many tales of heroism and in amongst them, one or two more questionable endeavours. First–class and third–class passengers seldom came eye to eye, but as the ship slowly sunk and the panic for a lifeboat space began, these two men were cast together in a devastating drama.

“A heartfelt and moving tribute to the heroism of the common man, and that the heart of even the richest men can be opened and brought into the light.”

★★★★ – British Theatre Guide

“I can hardly pay the author a higher compliment. My penultimate show at Fringe 2023 was an unexpected gem.”
