Can a play about stamp collecting be called a comedic drama? Yes, in MAURITIUS by Theresa Rebeck, philately (stamp collecting), the quiet pursuit of dedicated older and younger enthusiasts, isn’t as genteel as one might imagine. Add some questionable characters in on the con, and the plot thickens.

Readings will be from the script.

Needed:

2 females:

  • Jackie: late 20’s plus/
  • Mary: late 30’s plus

3 males:

  • Philip: 35 plus/

  • Sterling: 40 plus
