The impossible true survival story of Titanic stoker Frederick Barrett. Working in the boiler rooms of the maiden voyage, Barrett’s fight for survival is one of the most devastating accounts of the last few hours of Titanic.
Boiler Room Six gives a voice to the sacrifice of the working men below deck who kept the ship afloat for as long as possible, saving hundreds of lives, whilst knowingly giving up on their own.
The production first premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, selling out its debut run and winning the Best Overall Show of the Festival (Derek Awards). It subsequently embarked on an international tour, playing to audiences from Dumfries to Dumbai.
