SHIPWRECKED! AN ENTERTAINMENT
THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF LOUIS DE ROUGEMONT AS TOLD BY HIMSELF

January 27 - March 7, 2009
A New York Premiere

By Donald Margulies
Directed by Lisa Peterson

A tale of adventure that left England spellbound in the 19th century is the center of attention in Donald Margulies' play Shipwrecked!. Louis de Rougemont, a would-be explorer, invites you to hear his amazing story of bravery, survival and celebrity. Dare to be whisked away in a story of exotic islanders, rustic vessels and the high seas. Shipwrecked! examines how far we're willing to blur the line between fact and fiction in order to leave our mark on the world.

From the writer of Sight Unseen, Collected Stories and the Pulitzer Prize winning Dinner with Friends, Donald Margulies returns to Primary Stages where his play The Model Apartment won him an Obie Award for Playwriting.

All Performances are held at 59E59 Theaters
