Theater Review - Mauritius

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.
