SPOTLIGHT: Shipwrecked at Playmakers


PlayMakers Repertory Company will present Shipwrecked! An Entertainment through Dec. 19 in the Paul Green Theatre at UNC’s Center for Dramatic Art.
The real-life-yet-tall tale by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies tells the story of Louis de Rougemont, an explorer who traveled the world and told his tales of adventure to breathless audiences in the music halls and scandal sheets of Victorian England. The swashbuckling storyteller, accompanied by his faithful dog Bruno, quickly garnered fame and fortune, and then fell from grace just as swiftly.

Tom Quaintance, director of the theater’s hit presentations of The Little Prince and co-director of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, returns to PlayMakers to direct Shipwrecked.
Shows will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. on Dec. 11 and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $10 to $45. For a complete schedule, more information or to purchase tickets, call 962-PLAY or visit playmakersrep.org
