The USC Department of Theatre and Dance will perform the comic thriller “Mauritius” from February 21 to March 1 at Longstreet Theatre. Shows run Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 3 p.m. on February 23 and March 1.

Written by Theresa Rebeck, “Mauritius” explores the complexities of human behavior juxtaposed with the thrill of the stamp collecting underworld. The narrative follows two estranged sisters who inherit rare stamps, leading them into a dangerous game among high-stakes collectors. The play’s centerpieces are the infamous misprinted stamps from 19th century Mauritius, which have garnered high auction prices due to their rarity and flaws, illustrating that errors make both stamps and characters interesting.
“Mauritius” promises a gripping theatrical experience, revealing how seemingly simple desires can lead to chaos. With a revamped Longstreet Theatre, the production will deliver not only a fantastic script but also an upgraded viewing environment. The potential surprises in character dynamics and plot twists ensure audiences remain engaged and entertained throughout the performance.
