Theater Titanick

Friday evening saw a spectacular open air event in the atmospheric grounds of Carlisle Castle.  Performed by Theater Titanick, the story of the ill-fated Titanic was depicted using music, fire and water. The unmistakable sounds of metal-working accompanied the construction of the ship’s framework before a blaze of fireworks indicated the collision with the iceberg. Jets of water played over the crew, valiantly attempting to stop the onslaught while the first class passengers enjoyed a luxury feast on deck.  The inevitable climax of the breathtaking performance saw the ship collapsing as it slowly sank.  It was a stunning theatrical experience
