Stow Players Presents

"Mauritius"
By Theresa Rebeck

Directed by Brian Westerley

When her mother dies after an expensive illness and a lifetime of bad
choices, tentative but tenacious young Jackie is left with a mound of debt.
One glimmer of hope: a stamp collection, potentially valuable, is among her
assets. Philip, the brusque and arrogant stamp dealer to whom she takes the
collection, won’t even take a look without his $2000 fee. Charming Dennis,
a former stamp collector and small-time grifter down on his luck, who just
happens to be hanging out in Philip’s shop, is only too willing to look at
Jackie’s collection. Discovering two Mauritius “Post Office” stamps, the
“crown jewel of philately,” in the old album, he is overjoyed. Dennis
assumes that unassuming Jackie will be easy to scam, and contacts Sterling,
an incredibly rich and remorselessly violent “international businessman”
who is an obsessive stamp fancier, promising him an easy purchase.
Meanwhile Jackie, whose secret well of rage and resourcefulness makes her
no-one’s “lamb,” runs into obstacles of her own: her educated, refined,
estranged, much older half-sister, Mary, claims the stamp collection as her
own -- an inheritance from her paternal grandfather -- and refuses to sell,
citing it’s inherent spiritual and cultural value. Will Jackie change her
luck and her life? Will Dennis let his increasing interest in Jackie
interfere with his trickster persona? Will Philip’s ancient grudge against
Sterling play a role?

Performances will be February 4th-19th. Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 PM;
Sundays at 2:30PM.
