A couple of rare stamps, two sisters and three men who conspire to get their hands on the prize. Philately has never been more entertaining! When Jackie wants to know the exact value of the only valuable thing her mother left her, and collector Dennis scents the scoop of the century, the game begins, with endless secret alliances. Faultiness adds value to stamps, but is that also evident when it comes to people? Who is the slyest beneath the devious surface? This question guarantees to entertain you in this elegant, funny and exciting play which also offers poetic insight, moral candidness and a brilliant lesson in business. MAURITIUS premiered in Boston 2006 with a subsequent Broadway debut for Rebeck.
