TITANIC and More Set in Southwark Playhouse's Season

Southwark Playhouse announces three productions in their main theatre: Tanzi Libre (running May 15 - June 22, 2013), The Moment of Truth (June 26 - July 20, 2013), and Titanic (July 26 - August 31, 2013).

Titanic will be staged by the same creative team behind recent Southwark Playhouse revivals of Parade, Mack & Mabel and Victor/Victoria, led by director Thom Southerland.

In the final hour of 14th April 1912 the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and 'the unsinkable ship' slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century. 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.

Based on actual characters aboard the greatest ship in the world, Maury Yeston (Nine, Grand Hotel, Phantom) and Peter Stone's stunning musical focuses on their hopes and aspirations. Unaware of the fate that awaits them, the Third Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the newly-enfranchised Second Class dream of achieving the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and the millionaire Barons of the First Class dream of their hegemony lasting forever.
Winner of 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.
