An Ambitious new production
Maury Yeston and Peter Stone's incredible re-telling of the maritime tragedy is given the Serenbe treatment in this large scale mounting of the moving musical, featuring over 40 performers and a set of the famed ship of dreams in a lake - where it will be sunken nightly - adding the to the drama of the beautifully rendered epic.
First seen in 1997, Yeston and Stone explore the hopes and dreams of the passengers as they board the monumental liner in search of a new life. Each class is given their chance to tell their story, capturing the post-Victorian, pre-WWI society for one fleeting moment before the events of April 14, 1912 changed the world forever.
Emotionally engaging and throughly researched, the score draws inspiration from the music of the period, soundtracking the ship's teeming social strata with everything from Gilbert and Sullivan-esque vaudeville numbers to sweeping orchestral ballads that would make Elgar swoon.
