Don't miss Shipwrecked! An Incredible Entertainment
I just saw the show tonight and was blown away by the production.

I agree with the other reviewer, I cannot recommend this enough. Dont miss it!

RE:Shipwrecked! An Incredible Entertainment
I was lucky enough to see this show through TM, and it truly was one of the best things Ive seen in a while. A perfectly-pitched evening of theatre with 3 brilliant performances the characterization of a dog is worth the price of admission. This is gripping, funny, moving theatre, the kind of lucky chance you dont always get. Its dazzlingly written and directed, and the work onstage will blow you away. I cant recommend it enough.
