Echoes From the Titanic

The survivors of the Titanic disaster tell you in their own words about their escape to lifeboats in this adaptation of the 1912 Senate hearings, which began just one day after they arrived from their fateful trip. "We have nothing to conceal," proclaims White Star Lines President Bruce Ismay, but then has to explain why he was able to get in a lifeboat. Hear Fifth Officer Lowe's report why some lifeboats were not completely filled when they departed and why he fired a pistol to control the crowds. As parts of their testimony are re-enacted, we begin to see the full story. A gripping tale of honor, valor, sacrifice and suffering. Representational sets. (Also see "Voices From the Titanic." Together these one-acts comprise the full-length play, "Titanic: Tragedy and Trial.")
