THE MOORS

By Jen Silverman
Directed by Manon McCollum

FEATURING
Isabella Acuña, Melissa Bautista, Ann Lois Bullington, Matt Green, Ryan Murphy, and 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.”

CONTENT ADVISORY
Depiction of murder, depiction of domestic abuse, reference of sexual assault.
