It has been almost exactly 100 years since the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. It remains the quintessential disaster of the twentieth century. A total of 1517 men, women and children lost their lives. Only 711 survived.

The catastrophe made the world question the very essence of "progress;" might the advancement of technology not always be progress? The other question that arose from the disaster concerned the wide discrepancy between the numbers of survivors. All but two of the first class women survived, while 155 women and children from second and third class drowned. This caused new and long overdue scrutiny of America's prevailing social system and values.

Set to the background of a sweeping musical score, the play Titanic, examines the causes, conditions and characters involved in this ever-dramatic tragedy. This is the factual story of that ship-of her officers, crew and passengers, to be sure-but this great ship will not, as has happened so many times before, serve as merely the background against which fictional, melodramatic narratives are recounted.The central character of this Titanic, is the Titanic herself. 

"...a human metropolis
A complete civilization
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection of physical engineering Our task was to dream up on and then create A floating city!"
