Synopsis: 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 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.” In a stark room furnished only with a ship’s deck chair, John, assisted by a skeptical doctor named Halbrech, plays a cat-and-mouse game with Winifred, searching for ways to break her down.
The cast will consist of one actor and three actresses:
John – 30s-40s – male – An expert on the Titanic, driven by an almost obsessive desire to uncover the truth about Winifred. He is determined to break her story and expose her as an imposter. His intensity and sometimes cruel demeanor highlight his deep-seated obsession.
Winifred – 20s – female – A young woman found on an iceberg, claiming to be a survivor of the Titanic. Her enigmatic nature and refusal to fully explain her past make her a compelling and mysterious figure. She is both vulnerable and strong-willed, challenging those who interrogate her.
Halbrech – 30s – female – A doctor who assists John in his investigation. She appears to be a skeptic and a voice of reason, but she also has secrets of her own and a complex relationship with Winifred.
Frances Kittle – older – female – The last living survivor of the Titanic, who is sought by Halbrech to provide information about Winifred.
