In Third-Class the migrants, dreaming of a better life in the land of opportunity – America; the Second-Class couples imagining themselves rubbing shoulders with their social betters; and the First-Class millionaires, travelling with their families and their servants in oblivious opulence. All of them unaware that they are about to become part of the most tragic shipping disaster of the 20th Century.
For schools and groups, Konnect are offering an extensive education programme that takes their theatre as the starting point to explore the social history of the time, the separation of classes, and how this affected the lives of the men, women and children aboard the Titanic.
