Production History

First production of calendar year 2010 during CST’s 26th season, presented at Stage Center, 400 W. Sheridan Avenue. The corrected engagement was January 15–February 6, 2010; the original webpage appears to repeat the preceding production’s dates. Theresa Rebeck’s darkly comic thriller follows estranged half-sisters whose disputed stamp collection attracts three collectors with competing motives. Questions of ownership and authenticity become entangled with family grievances, deception, and intimidation. Concord Theatricals
