CQD to SOS: A Titanic Story

Edinburgh Rep / Erstwhile Media • Semi-professional company

55 minutes•Willow Studio
It's 12:15AM, April 15th, 1912. Titanic has hit an iceberg. In approximately two hours, over 2,000 people will be in the freezing water of the Atlantic Ocean, with survival counted in minutes. Their lives depend on three men – Titanic radio operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride, and Carpathia radio operator Harold Cottam – and the radio set that broke the day before. Fate has placed Phillips, Bride and Cottam, three working men doing a job, at the centre of one of the biggest peace-time tragedies of the twentieth century.
