ARCHIVED PERFORMANCE
Written by: Bernard McMullan
Performed by: Colin Hamell
Directed by: Carmel O’Reilly
Running Time: 75 mins – no interval
God is a Dublin gangster, Angel Gabriel is the effeminate and plucky keeper at the gates of heaven and Titanic’s legacy is 700 crewman scoring all over heaven on a weekly basis.
This is Titanic like you’ve never seen it before. Having gone down with the ship Jimmy has rock star status in heaven and boy does he milk it. Flirting with angels, rewriting history and with a direct line to an unlikely God — Jimmy Titanic is a unique and hilarious take on the story of the greatest ship ever built.
