From one of today’s most surprising playwrights comes a Broadway premiere that will have you riveted from the first scene.

This is MAURITIUS, the mysterious and darkly funny new play by Theresa Rebeck (The Scene, Bad Dates), directed by Tony Award® winner Doug Hughes (Doubt). The play features a simply sensational cast: F. Murray Abraham (an Academy Award® winner for Amadeus), Dylan Baker (Spider-Man 3, Happiness), Bobby Cannavale (Hurlyburly, The Station Agent, “Will & Grace”), Katie Finneran (a Tony winner for Noises Off) and Alison Pill (Blackbird at MTC, a Tony nominee for The Lieutenant of Inishmore). 

Jackie and Mary 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 dealers can be trusted with their sale? And where do we choose to live: the present or the past? Tightly woven and ever-surprising, this sinister tale marks Ms. Rebeck's first collaboration with MTC, as well as her Broadway debut.

A co-production with the Huntington Theatre Company.
