Mauritius June 18, 2010

TheatreWorks New Milford presents 'Mauritius' by Theresa Rebeck, directed by Sonnie Osborne. The stakes are high when half-sisters inherit a book of rare stamps that may include the "crown jewels" of the stamp-collecting world and could be worth millions. The battle for possession takes a dangerous turn when three rival collectors enter the sisters' universe, willing to go to any lengths to stake their claim on the find. Combining the most thrilling aspects of Alfred Hitchcock, Raymond Chandler, and David Mamet, 'Mauritius' is a gripping blend of sharp comedy and heart-pounding drama that simmers with constant surprise.
