He comes from television’s suspenseful thriller, “24” with Keifer Sutherland, but now Gregory Itzin takes a break from the cameras and turns his eyes to the stage. He joins the up and coming world premiere of Donald Margulies’ “Shipwrecked! An Entertainment-The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told by Himself). Think that’s a mouthful; just wait till you find yourself as a captive audience member in the theatre while you follow the story of a dog, a giant octopus, a pickpocket, a librarian and a crusty old sea captain. It’ no wonder that Itzin gave up terrorists for the opportunity to work with an octopus. Truly that is a once in a lifetime experience.
Apparently the far-fetched tale is derived from the true story of an unlikely and unheard of hero. Louis de Rougemont narrates his story as he departs on a 30 year adventure that will leave you with your mouth gaping as you struggle to believe the validity of his words. Yet no matter what you believe, the tale itself it one worth telling. Be awed and amazed and see Gregory Itzin on stage, get your Shipwrecked! tickets today.
