An isolated family dreams of love and power as they live out their lives on the bleak English moors. The sudden arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set the household on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and creating a legacy by whatever means necessary.

Dr. Peter Sinnema, a Victorianist by training and inclination, has taught numerous courses in nineteenth-century British literature both here at the University of Alberta and at York University. Stay back after the show on October 15th for a talkback with Dr. Sinnema, Alissa Watson, and Macy Mccubbing as they discuss Jen Silverman's mysterious play, and explore real-life Victorian icons such as the Brontë sisters that loosely inspire this story, other Victorian literature and how it influenced Studio Theatre's The Moors.
