About The Moors
By Jen Silverman
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.
The Moors premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, CT in February 2016 under the direction of Jackson Gay.
“The script shines with delicious dark comedy and beautiful lines but never really loses its sense of pastiche even when it enters deeper ground... There is great imagination and intrigue here and it is eminently entertaining, for Brontë fans and beyond.” — The Guardian
“It’s an intriguing vehicle for themes of loneliness, manipulation and mental health. The unsettling gothic vibes are created and well maintained, which is no easy feat.” — The Reviews Hub
