Mauritius
Written by Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Stephen Pelinski
Where: Thompson Theater at the Roselle Center for the Arts
(University of Delaware, Newark, DE)
When: Spring 2019
Quick thoughts several months later:
- I had wanted to see this play for a long time despite heretofore not being a fan of Theresa Rebeck's work. I found it surprisingly enjoyable.
- Stephen Pelinski did a fantastic job utilizing the space of the small black box theater. I remember thinking that he directed his actors to move around in the space in such a way that there couldn't be a bad seat in the house. Probably the best job I've seen in that space.
- Nice performances all around and another show that proves the REP is becoming increasingly more successful when performing modern-day pieces which is something they didn't tackle as much several years ago.
