'Third Clas - A Titanic Story'

About

THIRD CLASS A Titanic Story

A one-man theatre show based on the life of Titanic survivor Edward Dorking.

Edward Dorking was 'different'. Openly different.

'Third Class' revives the true story of a young English man, Edward Dorking, who was packed off on the Titanic, destined to be corrected by his American relatives.

THIRD CLASS charts Edward's journey from boarding the Titanic to swimming for 30 minutes towards an already full collapsible lifeboat and how he, upon arriving in New York, would tour the Vaudeville circuit, recreating the stories for a fact-hungry public.

But Edward didn't want fame; he wanted revenge. When everyone was talking about the deaths of millionaires and society figures, few were discussing the people who took the lion's share of the losses that night: the third class.

Edward was coming for the upper classes.

Using music, movement, projection, and historical facts, Third Class tells the story of an unknown hero from a well-known story.
