Boiler Room Six: A Titanic Story

Until Thurs 27 Mar View Venues, Dates & Times

Boiler Room Six tells the impossible true survival story of Titanic stoker Frederick Barrett. Given the
prestigious role of lead firemen in one of the boiler rooms aboard the maiden Titanic, Barrett’s journey
began as countless had before. But on the evening of 14 April, Barrett’s boiler room suddenly ripped
apart, and the freezing Atlantic came crashing through...

Barrett's fight for survival is one of the most devastating accounts of the last few hours of Titanic.
Boiler Room Six gives a voice to the sacrifice of the working men below deck who kept the ship afloat
for as long as possible, saving hundreds of lives, whilst knowingly giving up on their own.
The play premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2024, selling out its entire run, and receiving
widespread acclaim, including being awarded the Best Overall Show of the festival by the Derek
Awards. Written and directed by Tom Foreman
