The Moors
November 14
7:30 pm
Jay W. Lees Courage Theatre, Jewett Center for the Performing Arts and Emma Eccles Jones Conservator
By Jen Silverman
Directed by Jared Larkin
Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.
Jen Silverman’s dark comedy is considered a gothic feminist thriller with tinges of absurdism, interspecies romance, and comedic farce. Themes from the Brontë sisters appear through a contemporary lens while set against the backdrop of 19th century Gothics.
