Sarah Siddons Fan Club Presents the Titanic Story

 Southampton City Council is doing lots of different things in April  to mark 100 years of the sinking of The Titanic and I though that this one would be interesting.

For those of you that have been on the Ghost Walks, this is the same company re-creating some stories around the Titantic.

"The Titanic story has particular resonance for street theatre company The Sarah Siddons Fan Club as two members have relatives who were crew on the ship. In researching for their latest production Titanic, the Southampton Story they were able to call on first hand accounts from family members as well as witness accounts from the enquiries and the records of the Titanic Fund. The theatre company specialise in site specific productions about real historical incidents and Titanic, the Southampton Story is no exception, using real buildings from the period as backdrops the performance will focus on the experiences of the crew and their families from the excitement of the maiden voyage through to the aftermath of the tragedy.

Starting at Holy Rood, at 2pm, onto the houses in College Street, over to Oxford Street and then performing scenes outside Seaman’s Mission, The Grapes, SW House, over to Queens Park and finishing in St Joseph's Church."

And then we can go for a drink/early evening bite to eat.

Tickets are £7, please let me know asap for this one.
