The Chicago Premiere of Mauritius
By Theresa Rebeck
February 25 – April 5, 2009
The stakes are high when half-sisters inherit a book of rare stamps that may include the "crown jewel" of the stamp-collecting world. The battle for possession takes a dangerous turn when three rival collectors enter the sisters' world, willing to go to any lengths to stake their claim on the find. Named one of Time Magazine’s ‘Top Ten Plays of 2007’, Mauritius is a gripping blend of sharp comedy and heart-pounding drama that combines the best aspects of Hitchcock, Chandler and Mamet. By the Pulitzer Prize nominated author of Omnium Gatherum and The Scene.
