Unsinkable Women
|
Based on actual diaries, letters and interviews, Unsinkable Women brings to life four famous figures including, Eleanor Widener and Molly Brown - the "Unsinkable Molly" herself - whose account of the Titanic’s final moments brings the evening to its dramatic climax. Less-known characters are also depicted, like stewardess Violet Jessop who tells of the friendships and loves of the serving crew below decks, and Nora, an English music hall performer on her way to New York to appear in American vaudeville. The stories of these women are created and performed by New York actress Deborah Jean Templin.
Unsinkable Women offers a variety of contrasting moods and impressions. But, it's also punctuated with period songs ranging from vaudeville numbers to Victor Herbert's "Toyland." The Edwardian era costumes used in the show are housed onstage in an old-fashioned wardrobe trunk. Ms. Templin changes garb and shifts from character to character in full view of the audience.
Deborah Jean Templin wrote the piece during a 21-month stint playing major roles on the National Tour of the Broadway musical Titanic. It was during this period she first became fascinated by the real life women who speak out in her play. Her research into their lives inspired the writing of this new account of the legendary liner and its aftermath. Acclaimed nationally as a remarkable tour-de-force, Unsinkable Women has already been called "the most affecting and truthful version of the Titanic story to date.” For more information please call 610-278-5100 ext. 111
