Larry Raben pays homage to the many souls who lost their lives aboard the Titanic, but much of the script is plodding and boring. Robert J. Townsend gives a superb portrayal as Thomas Andrews, guilt-ridden ship builder. Steven Glaudini, as J. Bruce Ismay, proves that he is a talented actor as well as the company’s fine artistic direc- tor. This mounting is notable as a fitting tribute to all those souls on their way to America but who never made it to a better life. Worth a try.
