Third Class is a powerful one-man theatre show based on the life of Edward Dorking, a gay Titanic survivor. On April 10th, 1912, Edward sailed for NYC on a ticket bought by his parents, hoping his American family could 'correct' him. The play charts Edward's harrowing journey from boarding the Titanic to his 30-minute swim towards a collapsed lifeboat. Upon arriving in New York, he tours the Vaudeville circuit, recreating his stories for a fact-hungry public. But Edward didn't want fame; he wanted revenge for the overwhelming loss of third-class passengers, a subject often overlooked. Using music, movement, projection, and historical facts, Third Class tells the story of an unknown hero from a well-known event. The performance is a one-act play followed by a live Q&A, offering audiences the chance to step beyond the performance and delve into the history behind Edward Dorking's extraordinary story, the real events that inspired the production, and the history of the Titanic’s third class.
