Donald Margulies' SHIPWRECKED! now at Clague Playhouse
by Katherine Harper via NEohioPAL 06 May '15

06 May '15

*Shipwrecked!** at Clague Playhouse* Clague Playhouse, 1371 Clague Road, Westlake, presents Donald Margulies' inventive *Shipwrecked! The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told by Himself) *as the final production of its 87th season. Late 19th-century British readers thrilled to the "real" Rougemont's South Seas adventures, first in the pages of popular magazines, then on the music-hall stage. But some details of his story were too amazing to believe. Others were obviously wrong. Who was this "Louis de Rougemont," and was he a charlatan, a madman, a genius, or a bit of all three? In this energetic production, the old man plays out his story directly to the audience, assisted by two actors who change hats and coats to portray dozens of the real and imagined people on his life's journey.* Shipwrecked! *is directed by Tyson Douglas Rand. The cast includes Alex Nalbach in the title role, Cat R. Kenney, Jack Matuszewski, and Terrence J. Smith. The production runs through May 24 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults, $15 for seniors (60+), and $10 for students with valid ID, and may be purchased by calling the box office at 440-331-0403 Wednesday through Saturday from 1-6 p.m. Katherine Harper, Ph.D. Now accepting editing, writing, and research projects as *To the Letter Editorial and Research Services*.
