THE MOORS
By Jen Silverman
Directed by Kristen Palmer
Oct 10-20, 2024
Nafe Katter Theatre
It’s 1840(-ish). Two spinster sisters, a maid (or is it two maids?) and a melancholy mastiff live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a fresh-faced governess (through the door) and a moor-hen (out of the sky) sets them on a strange, dangerous path. Part Brontë satire, part Gothic thriller, part feminist rock musical, The Moors is a wholly delicious anachronistic comedy about desperation, love, and our desire to be seen for who we truly are. Directed by Kristen Palmer.
“Gorgeously dark, chillingly funny, and a real treat for any Brontë fans. — West End Best Friend
“The script shines with delicious dark comedy and beautiful lines but never really loses its sense of pastiche even when it enters deeper ground... There is great imagination and intrigue here and it is eminently entertaining, for Brontë fans and beyond.” — The Guardian
