The Last Lifeboat is told through the eyes of J. Bruce Ismay. This is a memory play that takes the audience on a non-linear trip through his life, following his greatest achievement and his greatest tragedy, the sinking of The Titanic. Lighting supported this notion by showing his decay into reclusion through the draining of color as the piece progressed.
