ABOUT THE PLAY
The stakes are high when estranged 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. They’re quirky and intense and willing to go to any lengths to stake their claim on the find. Mauritius is a gripping blend of sharp comedy and heart-pounding drama. By Theresa Rebeck.
KIMBERLY SENIOR (Director), of Chicago, has directed more than 40 theatrical productions and served as program director for Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s First Look Repertory of New Work.
