In the last decade of the twentieth century, a beautiful young woman in nineteenth-century clothing is found floating on an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. When rescued, she says only one word: TITANIC.

The woman, Winifred, is taken to an isolated spot on the coast of Maine where an expert on the sinking of the liner, a mysterous man named John, has arranged to interrogate her for 6 days. His goal: crack her story, get her to confess she's a fake, and reveal her true identity; his only clues: her enigmatic references to her personal history, and the famous ship itself.

In a stark, white room furnished only with a ship's deck chair, John, assisted by the skeptical doctor, Halbrech, plays a cat-and-mouse game with Winifred, probing and searching for ways to break her down. But Winifred is a formidable opponent, and as John is drawn closer to her, he becomes desperate.

As time runs out, Halbrech tracks down the last, living survivor of the disaster, a reclusive old woman named Frances Kittle who has lived in seclusion for 75 years. Miss Kittle is brought to meet Winifred and test her.

The play moves quickly toward a conclusion that is both touching and surprising.
