Ghosts of the Titanic
London’s Park Theatre Hosts the World Premiere of Ghosts of the Titanic
London’s West End is arguably the biggest hub for English theatre enthusiasts. For decades, the beloved Theatreland has gifted us several unforgettable productions that became milestones in the history of world theatre. To date, the West End is known for keeping the tradition alive by hosting new productions and showcasing new artists. You never know which of them will become the talk of the town. This is the reason regular theatregoers of London always keep a keen eye on what’s coming out next. If you are one of them, then clear your schedule for the next big thing hitting the West End stage in 2022—Ghosts of the Titanic.
That’s right; the much-hyped story will be adapted for the stage for the first time. And the man behind this promising creation is none other than Ron Hutchinson—the Emmy-winning screenwriter renowned for works like Murderers Among Us: The Simon Wiesenthal Story, The Ten Commandments, The Island of Dr Moreau, and several hit plays produced on and off the West End.
The new production will make its world premiere at Park Theatre in London next year. It is highly recommended that you catch the promising show, which might be the next big thing. So, pull your socks up and book tickets now.
A Spine-Chilling Story
Titanic—the name itself ensues awe and wonder. Over a century ago, the world’s biggest ship set sail to cross the Atlantic but unfortunately sank in the middle of the ocean as it hit an iceberg. However, rumours and myths are still fresh, even after 100 years have passed.
Ghosts of the Titanic takes you on board, back to 10th April 1912 when the ship began its voyage. Among its thousands of passengers and crew, we find a gnarly young man called Henry. Leaving his loving fiancée Emma Hayes on the shore, he embarked on the fateful journey, delighted to have landed his dream job with the orchestra. However, the dreaded news didn’t take long to reach the shore. On 14th April, word spread like wildfire that the “unsinkable” vessel had sunk to the bottom of the ocean, with more than 1500 people dead.
In the next 36 hours, the world saw a flurry of fake news and conspiracy theories analysing whether the ship had really sunk, who might have benefitted from the disaster, what happened to the people on board, and so on. Finally, tormented with the propaganda and distraction tactics, Emma decides to find out the truth for herself—a decision that would drive her to the edge of insanity.
A Promising Creative Team
While the name Ron Hutchinson is enough to attract attention, Ghosts of the Titanic has more to make it the next sensation. Eoin O’Callaghan directs the play, and Steven Edis is the music composer.
The final cast is yet to be revealed. But rest assured that it is going to be an unforgettable experience. So, don’t miss the opportunity and book your tickets now.
