From the back cover: In the last decade of the twentieth century, a beautiful young woman in nineteenth century clothing is found floating on an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. When rescued, she says only one word: Titanic. The woman, is taken to an isolated spot on the coast of Maine where an expert on the sinking of the liner, a mysterious individual in his own right, has arranged to interrogate her for six days. His goal: to crack her story, get her to confess she's a fake and reveal her true identity; his one clue: her enigmatic references to an unknown place called "Scotland Road".

I loved this very quick little play, a scant 48 pages in length, which reads IMO just like a thrilling short story! With only four characters, one stage setting, two acts, seven scenes and a playtime of 90 minutes (according to the playwright) this one really kept my attention. The stage directions included made this one very easy to visualize, along with the sparse props. Great characters and dialogue to engage an audience, even if they - like me - are not as a general rule fascinated with the story of the Titanic and its survivors.

If you enjoy the cat and mouse game of an interrogation, have a love for things that whiff of history and if you can lay your hands on a copy of this one, I suggest you do so. It is well worth the short one hour it will take to read it. ( )
