Shipwrecked! An Entertainment Primary Stages announces full cast

Primary Stages has announced the complete casting for the New York premiere of Shipwrecked! An Entertainment � The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told by Himself) by Donald Margulies.

Lisa Peterson returns to Primary Stages to direct the three-member cast that features Jeremy Bobb (Is He Dead?) as 'Player 2,' Michael Countryman (Dedication or The Stuff of Dreams) as 'Louis de Rougemont' and Donnetta Lavinia Grays (Well) as Player 1.

Shipwrecked! An Entertainment will open at 59E59's Theater A on 8 Feb 2009, following previews from 27 Jan and run through to 7 Mar 2009.

A tale of adventure that left England spellbound in the 19th century is the center of attention in Donald Margulies' play Shipwrecked! An Entertainment. 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! An Entertainment 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 author 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.

The creative team includes Neil Patel (Set), Michael Krass (Costumes), Stephen Strawbridge (Lights), and John Gromada (Sound).

Primary Stages is currently represented on Broadway with Horton Foote's Dividing the Estate (produced by Lincoln Center Theater, by special arrangement with Primary Stages), which made its New York premiere last season.
