The Moors

Set on a bleak, windswept English moor, the play follows two eccentric sisters and a naïve governess but where is the man of the manor, and where is the child she is supposed to look after? And can their mastiff negotiate a cross-species relationship with a moor-hen? What follows is a darkly comic exploration of longing, repression, ambition, and desire.

Blending the brooding atmosphere of the Brontë sisters with modern wit and surreal humor, The Moors delivers quick-fire dialogue, unexpected twists, and delightfully offbeat characters. Equal parts gothic parody and existential comedy, The Moors is a smart, subversive theatrical romp that skewers romantic mythologies while celebrating the messy, unpredictable business of being human.
