These days in Baltimore, MD:
You on the Moors Now
by Jaclyn Backhaus
An Evergreen Players production
McManus Theatre
Nov. 16 at 7 p.m., Nov. 17 at 8 p.m., and Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m..
This year’s fall Evergreen Players production is “You on the Moors Now,” a play about the adventures of the heroines of classic 19th-century novels and their male suitors. It is guest-directed by Melissa Freilich, a Baltimore director, teacher, and fight choreographer.
The play follows what happens when the heroines of “Little Women,” “Pride and Prejudice,” “Jane Eyre,” and “Wuthering Heights” reject their suitors and journey on to discover more about themselves. While these characters are from books that occur during the 1800s, there are also many modern additions included in the play. (...)“If you love 19th century novels, come for the ‘Jane Eyre’ and stay for the jokes about space camp. If you hated being forced to read 19th century novels in high school, come for the lightsaber battle and stay to find out that ‘Wuthering Heights’ is actually badass,” Freilich said. (Natalie Misyak)
