Set against the desolate, windswept moors of England, The Moors delves into the lives of two sisters—one consumed by despair, the other entrenched in misery—living with their distant, brooding brother, a scullery maid, and a massive mastiff in a gloomy, decaying mansion. When a mysterious governess arrives at their remote, secret-filled home, the house's tensions threaten to unravel, leading the women to confront what they’re willing to sacrifice for love. A delightful blend of black comedy and gothic thriller, The Moors exposes the passions and secrets that simmer beneath the surface of its isolated, perilous world. Inspired by the lives of the Brontë sisters, Jen Silverman’s gripping play channels Victorian gothic fiction, with its dark melodrama, repressed desires, and oppressive social mores, all through a sharp, witty and contemporary lens.
