Tom Foreman Productions Present
Boiler Room Six: A Titanic Story
Written and Directed by TOM FOREMAN
Performed by CHARLIE SHEEPSHANKS
Witness the impossible true survival story of Titanic stoker Frederick Barrett. Working in the boiler rooms of the maiden voyage, Barrett’s fight for survival is one of the most devastating accounts of the last few hours of Titanic.
Boiler Room Six gives a voice to the sacrifice of the working men below deck who kept the ship afloat for as long as possible, saving hundreds of lives, whilst knowingly giving up on their own.
The production joins Newcastle’s Live Theatre as part of a national tour, following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run.
There will be a FREE Post Show Talk with the writer, Tom Foreman and the performer, Charlie Sheepshanks, and hosted by Live Theatre's New Work Producer, JD Stewart, following the performance on Fri 17 Apr.
