CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR MAURITIUS:
"Rebeck stitches tension into every exchange. The five characters in Mauritius pair up and face off in shifting configurations, the emotionally fraught edges of their twisty encounters made all the more intriguing by the fact that items as apparently innocuous as postage stamps fuel the friction." -- Variety

"One wouldn't think that the subject of rare stamps would make for gripping, entertaining theatre, but Theresa Rebeck's Mauritius proves otherwise. The sort of well-made, engrossing and unpretentious play rarely encountered on Broadway these days." -- The Hollywood Reporter
