'The Moors' debuts at Koa Theater on April 1.
±´²©ÌåÓý’s spring theatre production begins April 1 with their theatrical production of the clever dark comedy The Moors, written by Jen Silverman. The play premiered at the Yale Repertory Theatre in 2016 and has been recognized as a work with “great imagination and intrigue” by and “truly clever and intelligent,” by the .
±´²©ÌåÓý's production is led by an all-±´²©ÌåÓý student cast; ±´²©ÌåÓý students are also working backstage and front-of-house. ±´²©ÌåÓý’s production of The Moors is directed by ±´²©ÌåÓý Theatre Director . The play will be performed at KOA Theater, with opening night scheduled for Saturday, April 1 at 7:30pm.
Stapleton remarked that, "The first time I read The Moors, I fell in love with it. And each subsequent reading of the play has convinced me that Jen Silverman is nothing short of a genius. At first glance, one might believe the play to be a period piece, with two spinster sisters in 'the 1840s-ish' living out their days on 'the bleak moors... of England?' But with her deliberately fuzzy view of place and time, Silverman insists that 'this play is about the present.'"
All ±´²©ÌåÓý students may watch the performance for free with valid student identification. General admission tickets are $10.
