Third Class: A Titanic Story

A one-man theatre show based on the life of
Titanic survivor, Edward Dorking.
Edward was gay. Openly gay, and on Wednesday, April
10th, 1912, he set sail for NYC on a ticket bought for him
by his parents in the hope his American family could put him 'right'
THIRD CLASS
charts Edward's journey from boarding the
Titanic to swimming for 30 minutes towards an already
full collapsable lifeboat and how he, upon arriving in New
York would tour the Vaudeville circuit, recreating the
stories for a fact-hungry public.
But Edward didn't want fame; he wanted revenge.
When everyone was talking about the deaths of millionaires
and society figures, few were discussing the people who
took the lion's share of the losses that night:
the third class.
Using music, movement, projection, and historical facts,
THIRD
CLASS
tells the story of an unknown hero from a well-known story.
