A note from the director:
Jen Silverman’s The Moors is a satirical comedy. It is a story of isolation, nature, vulnerability, and intimacy. The characters are flawed, (mostly) human, and trying to identify what it is that makes it all worth the struggle. I can’t think of a better play than this one for this time we find ourselves in, emerging from two years of stillness, full of fear, questioning what the future holds.
