The music producer whose fascination with the Titanic started it all. Original soundtracks remain part of the Histoire experience.
The Histoire of it all
An idea. A soundtrack.
A rather different dinner.
We bring stories to life around the table. And, like all good stories, ours started with a little imagination.
The story is only complete when you take your seat.Where it all began
A fascination
became an evening.
In 2017, music producer and Titanic enthusiast Bobby Cole visited the Titanic museum in Belfast. He came home inspired to write a soundtrack tracing the ship’s voyage.
A chef helped turn the music into a dining experience. An actor stepped into Captain Smith’s shoes. In April 2018, five nights in Swansea sold out, and a new idea for theatre began to find its audience.
After more performances and the interruption of 2020, we reopened as Histoire Productions in February 2021. Today, our professional cast brings moving drama, dark encounters and festive comedy to hotels, restaurants and event venues across the UK.
