Titanic: The Movie, The Play
Your heart will go on at this comedic 'Titanic' recreation at the Australian National Maritime Museum.
Overview
When Sydney got all revved up about Speed: The Movie, The Play a few years back, it was just the beginning of the city's love affair with comical stage interpretations of famous 90s films. And while there's sadly no blank-faced Keanu driving a bus in the other immersive and amusing adaptation that's about to float into town, there's something just as good.
Titanic: The Movie, The Play is heading Sydney's way to take on the tragic romance of Kate and Leo — as well as the just-as-tragic collision of a boat and some frozen water. It'll hit town from Thursday, September 15–Sunday, October 2 as part of the 2022 Sydney Fringe Festival.
If you fancy being king of the world for a night, you'll want to make a date with the Australian National Maritime Museum.
Yes, your heart will go on as two lovestruck ship-dwellers attempt to overcome their different backgrounds, ignore any rules about getting hot and steamy in someone else's car, and try to avoid a pesky iceberg.
And, chances are you'll still laugh along — even though you know how it all turns out. Actually, maybe you don't; if anyone was going to work in Winslet's revelation a few years back that there was actually room for DiCaprio on the door that proved so pivotal to the movie's final scenes, it's this spirited bunch.
