Titanic: The Stage Play

For the first time ever, Titanic comes to you as an innovative and inspirational work of theatre! There’s only one problem. Creator and director Micheal Starlight has been abandoned by his actors just moments before the play is supposed to commence. With the audience growing impatient Micheal is left to explain his awkward position but being the true professional he is decides that “the show must go on” regardless. Not before sharing with the audience some rather colourful and shocking insights into the many character flaws of his fleeing actors, Micheal then attempts to act out the entire play single handedly, pausing occasionally to enlighten us with some bizarre and often hilarious moments that occurred during rehearsals and past performances.

Micheal Starlight may not reach any great artistic heights with his interpretation of Titanic but will give the audience a delightfully tantalising taste of the not so glamourous side to the world of theatre. Titanic: The Stage Play is for the enjoyment of students from levels intermediate to advanced.
