By Jen Silverman
Directed By Annie Lareau
Seattle Public Theater, Seattle, WA
March 22 - April 14, 2024
Isolated on the moors, two sisters, a maid, and a mastiff live in a desolate mansion teeming with secrets. When a hopeful governess is summoned and a curious moorhen arrives, expectations are turned on their head.
The Moors is a deliciously dark comedy full of intrigue and manipulation.
Silverman’s work is a somewhat surrealist homage to the work of the Brontë sisters, altering 19th-century novel tropes with 21st-century shears and creating a Rorschach test of empathy and understanding, with glancing blows at patriarchal structures and female constriction. (Gemma Wilson)
