Jimmy Titanic
321 Arsenal Street Watertown
Conceived to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the great ship's sinking, New Repertory Theatre's production of Jimmy Titanic stars Colin Hamell (who appeared in New Rep's productions of Lieutenant of Inishmore and The Weir) as Belfast Shipyard worker Jimmy Boylan -- and nearly two dozen other characters -- whose lives were connected to the doomed ocean liner. From his new home in a humorously-rendered heaven, Boylan remembers and relives events surrounding the voyage, transported back in time through dramatic and sometimes comic vignettes. Written by Bernard McMullan, this one-man show has had successful runs in New York and elsewhere in the Northeast, and is soon headed to Ireland.
Presented by New Repertory Theatre
