Synopsis: “The Moors” is an illuminating inquiry into the complexities of human emotion that subverts the tropes of 19th-century Gothic romance. A dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility; it features two sisters and a dog living out their lives on the bleak English moors, until the arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen, set all three on a strange and dangerous path. Contemporary Queer playwright Jen Silverman has brilliantly crafted characters who each contend with desire, fear, and transformation.
