[[b]Queensland[/b], [b]22 July 2016[/b]] – Brisbane Powerhouse presents a hilarious, shameless take on the movie Titanic, James Cameron’s 1997 maritime romance classic.

Titanic the Movie the Play, after its sell-out debut season at the annual Brisbane Comedy Festival, is returning. See the late 90s’ biggest silver screen hit from the 29th of September through the 22nd of October at Brisbane Powerhouse’s amphitheatre. The show runs from Thursday to Saturday, starting at 7:15 pm and running for a full 60 minutes.

The full ticket price is at $29; concession tickets start at $26. An additional fee applies to each booking: there’s an extra $3 for booking single tickets and $6 for multiple tickets. The shameless, hilarious homage to the 1997 James Cameron classic graces Brisbane Powerhouse’s stage to show the movie in a never-before-seen light — albeit one that takes itself less seriously.

The play features the elements of the movie: the aristocratic Rose and common-born Jack discover love and a lack of lifeboats on a supposedly unsinkable ship. An iceberg looks to destroy a lot of people’s dreams.
