A show for the entire family, Shipwrecked! An Entertainment - The Amazing Adventures Of Louis de Rougemont (As Told By Himself) is a fantastical romp of good old-fashioned story telling. We sail off to the far side of the world with Louis and relive his amazing adventures with him. Embracing theatricality in its truest and purest form, Shipwrecked weaves its magic spell as Louis retells his stories of adventure, daring, intrigue, and dissolution … but in the end fills our hearts with joy and laughter. We are left to wonder if imagination holds more genuine value than truth.
Director 's Notes:
"My first thought was to say, 'The title says it all!' And it does. But even more so, Donald's play is a love song to the sort of story-telling that inspires us to dream, to suspend impossibility, to believe that there are heroes amongst us and within us. It is a celebration of wonder, of delight, of epic flights of fantastical feats. It enchants the child in us all and reminds us that the most vivid worlds yet to be explored are the ones that exist in our imaginations."
