69É«ÇéÊÓƵ is a small liberal-arts college situated in Central Indiana, just 45 minutes west of Indianapolis. Offering over 50 majors, the University develops leaders the world needs through an uncommon commitment to the liberal arts.
In the current day, a young woman, dressed in clothes of the early 20th century, is found alone on an iceberg. She is terrified and confused and utters only one word: “Titanic.” She is brought to a makeshift hospital and interrogated by a man determined to break her story--and force her to admit that she’s a publicity-seeking fraud. But as the interrogation intensifies, so does the mystery, and characters reveal devastating secrets. Everyone’s identity is suspect; no one is as they seem. Award winning play Scotland Road is described as a “gripping and relentless,” a “Gothic psychological thriller.”
This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy. Over the past century, the story of this “ship of dreams,” in which over 1500 people (out of 2200) lost their lives, has enthralled the public, prompting hundreds of news stories, films, poems, songs, musicals, symphonies, dance performances, board games, video games, and two Titanic museums in the United States. The disaster also brought issues of sexism, racism, and classism to light. Robert Ballard’s discovery of the Titanic in 1985 and the premiere of James Cameron’s film Titanic in 1997 revived public fascination with the doomed ocean liner.
Jeffrey Hatcher’s award-winning mystery Scotland Road, (named for a section of the ship that runs from bow to stern) explores the Titanic legend—and the shifting realities of those obsessed by it. However, as Titanic survivor Miss Kittle warns, “there was more to the Titanic than the myth would have you believe. What you see, Mr. Astor, is just the tip.”
