About the play:

What would you do if you had to choose between being a hero, doing the
noble thing and never seeing anyone you loved again? What would you have
chosen?

*The Last Life Boat* is the untold story of J. Bruce Ismay, the owner of
the White Star shipping Line when The Titanic sank, whose decision to save
himself rather than go down with the ship made him the scapegoat for one of
the greatest disasters of all time. This epic tale explores not only the
tragedy itself, but the sensationalized trials and aftermath of the night
that changed the world forever.

*ABOUT THE PLAY*:  Attend this dark and witty tale of love, London, murder
and revenge.

Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London
seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged
his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a
resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new
barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for
blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has
the people of London lining up, and the carnage has only just begun!



Rehearsals (5 per week on weekday evenings and weekends) will commence on
August 21.

Performances (9):  Fridays and Saturdays, and Sundays (Matinées), October
21 through November 6
