Theater by the Book: "The Moors" by Jen Silverman

Sierra Stages and the Miners Foundry present a Theater by the Book play reading of “The Moors” written by Jen Silverman and directed by Laura LeBleu. Theater By the Book is a series of informal play readings for the community co-presented by Sierra Stages and the Miners Foundry.

In “The Moors”,  two sisters (and a melancholy mastiff) live in a ruinous old house on the bleak and fog-enshrouded English moors, dreaming of love and power. When a hapless governess (and a crash-prone moor-hen) arrive out of nowhere, lies are unmasked, loyalties shift and all are set on a strange and dangerous path until finally, someone reaches the breaking point! ​A mysterious, menacing and savagely funny mash-up, as though the Brönte Sisters had been dropped into a comedic production of a play by Samuel Beckett.
