A Night to Remember
The sinking of the Titanic is exhibited in a fashion in this tense play. The tragedy is portrayed largely from the point of view of the 2nd officer, Charles Lightoller of the sea liner. Despite lots of warnings regarding icehockey, the boat sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith keeping it going at a steady clip. When an iceberg is finally hit by the doomed vessel, both the crew and passengers detect they lack enough lifeboats, and tragedy follows.
