Names Upon The Water Theatre
From:April 3, 2012 20:00 to: April 7, 2012 22:00
Location: Ballina Arts Centre
Names Upon the Water is the true story of 14 young people who left their homes in Addergoole near Ballina and set out on the Titanic for a new life in America. Only three of them completed the journey. The loss of the other 11 amounted to the greatest proportionate loss of life of any village, town or city in the world, on that fateful night one hundred years ago.
The story follows the fate of characters such as Delia McDemmott whose purchase of a new hat played a strange part in her fate; the Bourkes whose staunch family loyalty determined their fate and Delia Mahon whose brother had read disaster in her tea-leaves and implored her not to go.
This epic tale is retold with great sensitivity and warmth by Ballina Drama Society and the story is complemented by wonderful music and song from local musicians and singers.
Written by Michelle Jordan. Directed by Hilary Lyons.
