January 27 - March 7, 2009

"A breathless story that springs to life like a theatrical pop-up book. Wonderfully Inventive!"
-The NYTimes

"If Shipwrecked! doesn't grab an audience, they must be dead."
-Variety

"Thoroughly charming! This old fashioned approach to story telling works perfectly."
- AP

"Told in a unique combination of bold strokes and subtle subtext that weaves a greater meaning into the play, making it ultimately a poignant embrace of our need to imagine."

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.

With Jeremy Bobb, Michael Countryman, Donnetta Lavinia Grays
