The Last Lifeboat is the story of the Titanic that has never been told.  It explores not only the tragedy itself, but the sensationalized trials and aftermath of the night that changed the world forever. In the words of playwright Luke Yankee, it "is a large, epic story.  It is also a memory play...Above all, it is intended to be played for honesty, simplicity, and nothing arch or broadly comedic."

Roles include J. Bruce Ismay, William Randolph Hearst, Andrews, Chaplain, George Ismay, Lord Mersey, Butler, Sailor, Sanderson, Fry, Murdoch, Dr. McGee, Thomas Ismay, Morgan, Capt. Smith, Astor, Lightoller, Rector, Althorp, Vivan Pettiford, Florence Schiefflin, Mrs. Astor, Sophie, Mrs. Ryerson, Margaret Ismay, Lady Peale, Mrs. Chase, Italian wife, Angela, Dr. Grenfell, Evelyn Ismay, Farrelly, Attendant, Witness, Reporters, Senators, Valets, Party guests, Passengers, Theatre patrons, etc.
