'Mauritius' Concludes MTC Engagement November 25

Manhattan Theatre Club's acclaimed Broadway production of Theresa Rebeck's Mauritius will conclude its extended engagement as scheduled on Sunday, November 25. As of that date, the production will have played 24 previews performances and 61 regular performances at the Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

Theresa Rebeck's Mauritius started previews on Thursday, September 13 and opened on Thursday, October 4 to acclaim from critics and audiences alike.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Hughes, the production stars Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham (Sterling), Tony Award-nominee Dylan Baker (Philip), Emmy-Award winner Bobby Cannavale (Dennis), Tony Award-winner Katie Finneran (Mary), and Tony Award-nominee Alison Pill (Jackie).

Mauritius is a gripping new play from the acclaimed author of such hits as The Scene, Bad Dates and Omnium Gatherum, for which Rebeck and her co-author were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

"Jackie (Pill) and Mary (Finneran) are half-sisters whose mother's death leaves them in possession of a rare stamp collection. But which sister actually owns the stamps? Which of three men (Abraham, Baker, and Cannavale) can be trusted with their sale? Tightly woven and ever-surprising, this sinister comedy marks Theresa Rebeck's Broadway debut," explain press notes.

The creative team for Mauritius includes: John Lee Beatty (Scenic Design), Catherine Zuber (Costume Design), Paul Gallo (Lighting Design), and David Van Tieghem (Original Music and Sound Design), Rick Sordelet (Fight Director), and David Caparelliotis (Casting Director).
