Full Cast, Creative Team Set for Theresa Rebeck’s Mauritius

Michael Aronov, Robert Dorfman, James Gale, Marin Ireland, and Laura Latreille will star in the world premiere of Theresa Rebeck’s Mauritius, at Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company’s Stanford Calderwood Pavillion, October 6-November 12. The production, to be directed by Rebecca Bayla Taichman, will officially open on October 18.

The play is a darkly funny story about two half-sisters who come in conflict over a book of rare, potentially priceless postage stamps. It received a reading at the Huntington’s Breaking Ground Festival of New Play Readings in April. Rebeck’s many other plays include Bad Dates, Spike Heels, The Water’s Edge, and The Scene, which will be presented this season in New York at Second Stage, also directed by Taichman.

The show’s creative team includes Tony Award winner Eugene Lee (sets), Miranda Hoffman (costumes), Paul Whitaker (lighting), Martin Desjardins (sound design and music composition), and Rick Sordelet (fight direction). Taichman’s other credits include award- winning productions of Menopausal Gentleman, The Clean House, and The Green Violin.

Aronov was seen Off-Broadway in Miss Julie and The Late Henry Moss and in the film version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Dorfman’s Broadway credits include Social Security and The Lion King. Gale was seen on Broadway in Major Barbara and Off-Broadway in Engaged and The Beard of Avon. Ireland’s many Off-Broadway credits include Cyclone, The Ruby Sunrise, and Sabina. Latreille appeared in the film Anathema.
