Donald Margulies's SHIPWRECKED to be Performed at The Jack Studio Theatre
Louis de Rougemont took Victorian England by storm with his tales of adventure on the high seas.
Now Louis invites you to witness his story of bravery, survival and celebrity that left his readers spellbound. Embarking on an epic journey, Louis encounters extraordinary creatures and strange islands, overcomes storms, shipwreck and attacks by a native tribe and a man-eating octopus, only to return to London thirty years later to publish his exploits.
Shipwrecked is a story that captivated and divided nineteenth century society. Is Louis de Rougemont an adventurer capable of amazing deeds, or is he merely a teller of tall tales? 'Truth is stranger than Fiction but De Rougemont is stranger than both.'The Wide World Magazine, June 1899The Jack Studio presents the UK Premiere of Shipwrecked! An Entertainment written by Pulitzer Prize winning dramatist Donald Margulies. Produced by the same team behind The Mystery of Irma Vep, Ghost Train, Around the World in 80 Days and Sleepy Hollow.
