Boiler Room Six - A Titanic Story

Royal Court Liverpool Show Dates: 23 Jun 2026-24 Jun 2026

Witness 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 joins Liverpool’s Royal Court as part of a national tour, following a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run.
