Mauritius is the first
production of MTC's 2007-2008 season. The production began previews on
Thursday, September 13.
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).
