Mauritius at USC

By Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Erica Tobolski

Longstreet Theatre

Stamp collecting is far riskier than you think. In Theresa Rebeck’s thrilling dark comedy, two estranged half-sisters inherit a book of stamps that includes the “Blue Mauritius,” one of the world’s rarest and most valuable stamps. When one of the sisters tries to collect on the windfall, she enters a dangerous underworld of high-stakes collectors who are willing to do anything to claim this crown jewel as their own. “Funny, sharp and beguiling… with stunning scenes of high humor and drama.” – Variety
