The Opening of the Stamp War

Rebeck’s new show, “Mauritius” makes its Broadway debut tonight where two sisters are at odds with each other over a precious stamp collection left to them by their mother.  The show is a hilarious reprieve from a stressful work week and will leave you wondering whether or not you would be up in arms over an old book of postage stamps.  Alison Pill plays Jackie, one of the stamp obsessed sisters and Katie Finneran takes on the role of Jackie’s half sister Mary, who also claims ownership of the collectibles.

There are many different emotions that fly through Rebeck’s play and the story follows twists and turns that will leave you guessing and wondering throughout the production.  Rebecca Rebeck is known for her theatre productions such as: “Bad Dates,” “Omnium Gatherum,” “The Scene,” and “The Water’s Edge.”  This new effort has already been heralded by critics and there seems to be no doubt that the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway will be packed for opening night and even in the nights following.  Be sure to check the value on your own stamp collection and get a pair of Mauritius tickets today at Stubhub.com.
