Tongue in Cheek Theater Productions (Jake Lipman, producing artistic director) revive Theresa Rebeck's Mauritius with 7 performances in midtown NYC, October 18-28, 2017.

Mauritius is a darkly funny play in two acts: two estranged half-sisters, Jackie and Mary, come across a relative's book of rare stamps. Things get sticky when Jackie goes behind Mary's back to sell the stamps on the black market; soon there are 5 different interested parties, each jostling for their stake in these 2 small slips of paper.

"Aside from the written text itself, the performances from the five actors are the main highlight of this production, and what makes it particularly strong. Leading the cast is Emily Nash, who turns in a particularly strong and emotional performance in the role of Jackie. While I'm normally skeptical when directors decide to perform in their own productions, Jake Lipman - the Artistic Director of Tongue in Cheek Theater Productions, who also did an excellent job at staging this producing - turns in a fine performance in the role of Mary. The rest of the cast is rounded out by Kurt Bardele as Philip the stamp expert, Michael Vincent Carrera as the crooked buyer Sterling, and Derek Long in the role of the deal broker Dennis, all of whom turn it solid performances which especially impressed me toward the climax of the play." Anthony J. Piccione, OnStageBlog

Mauritius will run October 18-28, 2017 at The Bridge Theatre @ Shetler Studios, 244 West 54 Street, 12th Floor, New York, NY. Tickets are $18 at http://www.tictheater.com or by calling 1-800- 838-3006.
