The Moors at The Theatre Centre

Dora award-winning indie theatre company Riot King Art Market is presenting The Moors by playwright Jen Silverman, playing from April 3rd to 19th in The Theatre Centre’s BMO Incubator Space.

A young governess arrives at a mysterious manor on the remote Moors of England after exchanging many letters with the master of the house. But when the door opens, the only residents are his spinster sisters, a maid (or is it two maids?), and a lovelorn mastiff pining for a far-flung moor-hen. But when there seems to be no child to care for, she’s left to wonder why she has been brought here. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and the dangerous results of yearning to be seen. Drawing inspiration from classic Victorian Gothic novels by the Brontë sisters, but twisting the genre to become something weirder and wilder, The Moors is undeniably queer and unmistakably modern.

Tickets for The Moors will be available on a sliding scale ranging from $30 - $60, plus VIP Premium Seating for $80. There are discounted $20 tickets for previews on April 3rd, 4th, and 7th, as well as PWYC tickets for our performance on Tuesday, April 14th.

Please note: This performance contains blood, violence, and mature themes including brief references to sexual assault.
