It’s a story that will leave you reflecting on life’s challenges and the enduring power of human connection.

Character Breakdown

Becca –  female – late 30s/early 40s
Becca is a Type A personality. No-nonsense, practical, and uncompromising, she cannot tolerate insincerity or impracticality. She has been defined by her position as a wife and mother, but in the wake of her 4-year-old son’s death, she seems to have shut down emotionally. Becca tries to keep everything together as much for herself as for everyone else until she can’t. She has tried to bottle up and contain her grief.

Howie –  male – late 30s/early 40s, Becca’s Husband
Howie is a man of patience, often appearing as if everything is all right. Howie inadvertently creates distance between himself and Becca. Whereas Becca isolates herself completely in her grieving, Howie seeks support from a grief counseling group that ultimately undermines their relationship. He and Becca have grown distant since Danny’s death, though he tries to connect with her. Howie, too, is devasted by the loss, but he is seemingly more ready to move on with life on the surface.

Izzy –  female – early 30s, Becca’s Sister
Izzy is the younger sister of Becca and is the id to Becca’s superego. A perennial party girl who never grew up, Izzy is still trying to find herself. She is impulsive, irresponsible, and a bit rough around the edges, but she is always fiercely loyal to her sister. Izzy brings levity to the play.

Nat –  female – mid 60s, Becca and Izzy’s Mother
Nat is a strong, opinionated, but compassionate woman with a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Though she and Becca argue, she is a supportive figure who still grieves the death of her own son, Arthur.

Jason –  a 17-year-old boy
Jason is a very smart, responsible, but socially awkward teenager who is earnest and has good intentions. He very much wants to connect with Becca and Howie after the accident.

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.
