Sneaking in to wish everyone a lovely evening. Been trapped in rehearsals for a sinking ship, and getting tires replaced, when I found two had the rubber separating - never safe. All is well now.
Kay, back to the sinking ship. Good luck with your collective butt cheeks.
Ryacko, is this Ismay show a play or a musical?
TCB, it's a play, not a musical. And it's actually an interesting piece. Not great (it's a work in progress), but good. And Ismay is more interesting than most people know. The play dispels some of the myths about him, since so many paint him as the villain. For instance, he is portrayed in the Cameron film, donning women's clothing to get on the last lifeboat. That was not true at all.
It shows a great deal about how getting in the lifeboat at all was his greatest regret. Follows him through the hearings in the US, which were staged primarily for a Senator to grab headlines for reelection. And how he spent the rest of his life pouring money into charities to help the victims and sailors, etc.
Like I said, not a great play yet, but a good one, and one worth a reading, at least.
