Dashiell Hammett News

Jubilee Theatre ends its 2008-2009 Season, the company?s 28th, with Sam Shade: A Detective Musical, an original musical with music and lyrics by Joe Rogers. Directed by Tyrone King, this farce is based on the classic novels The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells and The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.

Theresa Rebeck (creator of the Alley's success The Scene and Bad Dates) returns to the Alley with Mauritius. The title, Mauritius, refers to an island off the coast of Africa from which a now highly collectible stamp, described as 'the crown jewel of philately,' was issued in the age of Victoria. Like the Maltese Falcon, the Mauritius stamp is the fraught object of desire for an assortment of shady characters with different and mysterious backgrounds and motives, who move through the twists of the plot's crosses and double-crosses. Recommended for mature audiences.
