When the HMHS Britannic sank during World War I, few survivors emerged with belongings. But cabin maid Violet Jessop had her toothbrush in her pocket, as an experienced real survivor of the earlier tragedy during the sinking of the Titanic. In this true story, audiences learn the incredible accounts from the only person to survive both sinkings as Jessop tells her unforgettable stories of these terrifying disasters and gives a fascinating glimpse at life behind-the-scenes on the most glamorous luxury liners of their day.
Violet Jessop is best known as having survived both the sinking of the HMHS Britannic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic. A cabin maid, she was one of the few female staff members to secure a lifeboat seat. Audiences learn the incredible accounts of Jessop as she tells her unforgettable stories of these terrifying disasters and gives a fascinating glimpse at life behind-the-scenes on the most glamorous luxury liners of their day.
Leslie Goddard share these true accounts with audiences, drawing from her theatrical background and experience as a researcher and historian. Her previous one-woman performances at Theatre at the Center, as Julia Child and Amelia Earhart, have earned standing ovations.
