Mauritius
Drama
Runs Apr 25 - May 11, 2025
A rare stamp. A fractured family. A dangerous game.
When estranged half-sisters discover a valuable inheritance, they become entangled in a high-stakes world of deception, greed, and betrayal. Theresa Rebeck’s Mauritius is a gripping thriller that blurs the lines between truth and manipulation as the sisters face off against a trio of cunning collectors—each determined to claim the prize at any cost.
Presented in the immersive style that Parker Players Theater Company is known for, this electrifying production pulls audiences into the heart of the conflict, where every move could mean fortune or ruin. With a stellar cast bringing Rebeck’s razor-sharp dialogue to life, Mauritius delivers an edge-of-your-seat experience you won’t want to miss.
Trust no one. Play to win.
