 Coming February 9 to the Cattell Stage

Mauritius by Theresa Rebeck


Two Priceless Stamps.
Two Divided Siblings.

In Mauritius, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons. In this gripping and darkly comic tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes dangerous when one of the sisters seeks out the help of a trio of collectors with shady reputations, each with his own plan of securing the prize for himself.

A note from the director...

There is no doubt that Theresa Rebeck takes her characters and us on a wild ride as she gives us another of her plays “about people behaving badly”. But it is the why of bad behavior, the reason for this ever-heightening competition, that’s compelling. She also gives us several hints about these characters’ pasts, how they obtained their flaws, and thus their motivation to claim these two tiny slips of paper, no matter the damage. Unlike stamps, though, it seems we humans are devalued as we acquire tread marks.
