Pluck - The Titanic Show!
THE TITANIC SHOW is Pluck's tribute to the musicians who played on until the end. Nobody knows what filled the days of those brave few before tragedy struck...
So Pluck have made it up.
Sensitive lead violinist Wally and brutally sincere multi-instrumentalist W'Theodore are joined aboard the fated vessel by stowaway Roger, a strangely small yet enthusiastic young man. As they entertain the guests on board, tensions build as Wally and W'Theodore begin to suspect that Roger is not quite the man he claims to be...
Privileged to be given second class passenger status, the three musicians take full advantage of the treats aboard this floating city. They gamble, paint, relax on deck chairs, and when off duty nibble a potato and dance the night away in steerage. Featuring a real iceberg, one massive porthole, and a very large peanut, all blended with a mélange of great music - and NO Celine Dion!!

Highly strung violinist Yarlsberg has designs on the perfect concert and ever enthusiastic Mr Abanathie aims to please with a variety of instruments. Meanwhile, budget celebrity Kadifachi’s surprisingly passionate relationship with her cello threatens to hijack the entire performance…

As soon as pluck stumble on to the stage the musical anarchy begins!
The hilariously incompetent pluck are not so much a classical trio as a classical mistake! Impossibly, they compete, argue, scheme, ridicule, dance, fight and seduce their way through ‘Bach to Beatles. They play Brahms, Ravel and Vivaldi but in a way that would have the composers laughing in their graves!

luck is the comedy string trio that is astounding audiences all over the world. Since pluck’s inception at the end of 2002, the group has compiled an amazing list of achievements. Not only have they devised two comedy theatre shows which have played to sold out crowds in three continents, they are also consummate corporate entertainers, expert street performers, and have a cabaret show that is a guaranteed hit at weddings and parties. Never before has a string trio been as versatile, as entertaining, as ‘Gloriously funny’ - The Scotsman.
pluck have also performed at four Edinburgh Fringe Festivals (2002-2006), stunned an audience of 8000 in a football stadium, played the Glastonbury Festival in white tie, tails, and Wellington boots, tangoed with patients in hospitals, entertained children in schools, won four international awards, played the Big Brother theme tune on live TV, and interviewed the President of Slovenia in a boxing ring!
