“With the cast, helmer and designers of its 2007 South Coast Rep premiere still aboard, Donald Margulies' Shipwrecked! offers Geffen Playhouse audiences more of just about everything -- more lights, more spectacle, more audacity -- at no sacrifice of the improvisatory, two-planks-and-a-passion quality marking this exuberant tall tale as a product for the stage and no other medium. If anything on the boards today could prompt a young viewer to aver, 'I not only want to see more theater, I want to make it,' this is the one.” – Bob Verini, Variety
World premiere at South Coast Repertory, September 2007
Los Angeles premiere at the Geffen Playhouse, June 2008
