Boiler Room Six: A Titanic Story
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 Ludlow Assembly Rooms as part of a national tour,
following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run.
