Winner! TMA/Barclays Equity Award for Best Show for Children and
Young People 2002. Tuesday 17 September 1940: two fifteen-year-old
child evacuees, Bess Walder and Beth Cummings, are fast asleep on
board a steam passage ship, The City of Benares, sailing away from
World War Two torn Britain and relentless German bombing. Just
before midnight they are violently awoken when the ship is hit by a
German torpedo and starts to sink. Bess and Beth join the stampede
to the lifeboats. Then begins their desperate battle to survive,
clinging on to an upturned lifeboat for a night and a day, in the
icy waters of the North Atlantic. Out of ninety children on board
The City of Benares, Bess and Beth were among only a few who
survived. Based on an extraordinary true story, Lifeboat is a tale
of courage in the face of overwhelming danger, lifelong friendship
and the will to survive.
