BoHo Theatre is known for its dynamic and suspenseful stage productions. In their 11th season, they have once again pushed boundaries with “Scotland Road”, a gripping play by Jeffrey Hatcher. The plot is woven around the enigmatic events of the Titanic disaster and explores the underlying strength and peril of undisclosed secrets.

“Scotland Road” is a suspenseful journey, directed by the talented Charles Riffenburg, that carries the audience through a whirlwind of mystery. The story unfolds when a young woman is found floating in the North Atlantic, astonishingly claiming to be a survivor of the ill-fated Titanic. An aristocrat fascinated by Titanic’s tale, grapples with the uncertainty — is she a genuine survivor or just an intricate hoax? “Scotland Road” delves into the human tendency to keep secrets, the struggle of maintaining a façade, and the irresistible urge to adopt other identities.

The Storyline

A woman in Victorian attire is discovered adrift on an iceberg in the North Atlantic, muttering only “Titanic” before falling silent. An aristocrat fascinated with the ship brings her to an isolated institution, sparking a tense confrontation between the enigmatic woman and the man determined to expose her. But as layers of deceit peel away, the truths revealed threaten all involved.
