The Moors
By Jen Silverman
Directed & Produced by Manon McCollum
Featuring: Isabella Acuña, Melissa Bautista, Ann Lois Bullington, Matt Green, Ryan Murphy, & Asa Nestlehutt
Lesbians! Murder! Talking Dog! Set on “the bleak moors… of England?” in a time like the 1840s, The Moors is an inspired, whimsical satire that both embraces and sends up the gothic musings of the Brontë sisters. This dark, contemporary comedy examines love, power, and our longing to be seen in a play The New York Times called “…the reason we go to theater.”
