Titanic: Band of Courage
Theatre Royal Haymarket is a premier West End London playhouse. In 2009, it mounted the most successful production ever of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Starring Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, it ran for 172 sold-out performances. Godot was followed by the first stage adaptation of Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Filmed over six months, this documentary goes behind the scenes of both productions to reveal what makes a West End theatre tick. SDH
The truth of the Titanic exceeds any screenwriter’s imagination and no tale deserves to be told more than that of the ship’s bandsmen – the eight men who stayed and played, knowing their fate was sealed. Titanic: Band of Courage tells the harrowing, heroic and heartbreaking journey of the eight musicians who had never played together before the Titanic sailed, but who were bonded forever after their final, fateful performance.

WWI Centennial Robert Harrop WWI Staffordshire Bull Terrier new
14 War Stories When war broke out in July 1914, people believed it would be over by Christmas – little could they know how wrong they were. This was a new kind of war, fought with technology never seen before. By November 1918, ten million people had died and the map of the world had been re-drawn. Caught up in the middle of this chaos were many ordinary men, women and children – these are their stories.
A First World War British Tommy (soldier) in full trench gear is recreated here as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier called “The Old Contemptibles.” The name was ironically and defiantly adopted by the regular army of the British Expeditionary Force, when Kaiser Wilhelm II mocked the British as a “contemptible little army.” Sculpted in Shropshire, England by Robert Harrop Designs, this hand-painted ceramic resin dog figurine stands 6" tall.
