Murphys, CA…Celebrate Halloween with MCT’s Spooky Dark Comedy The Moors by Jen Silverman.  Get ready for some Halloween chills and thrills with Murphys Creek Theatre’s (MCT) upcoming production of  The Moors by Jen Silverman. Inspired by the letters of Charlotte Brontë, this black comedy is an homage to the Brontës and a gothic pastiche in one.

The play tells the story of a governess who is lured to a remote corner of the Yorkshire moors under the pretense that she care for a newborn child. She discovers only two juxtaposed sisters, a mysterious maid with identity issues, an old hound, and a moorhen are the only inhabitants of a house that creaks with haunting mysteries.

The Moors will run from October 6 to October 28, 2023, at Murphys Creek Theatre. The show will have evening curtains at 7:30 PM and matinee curtains at 2:00 PM. The running time is 2 hours with one 15-minute intermission.

Jen Silverman is a playwright, novelist, poet, and screenwriter. Her plays have been produced internationally in Australia, the UK, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Spain, and elsewhere. She is also the author of the debut novel “We Play Ourselves” and the story collection “The Island Dwellers.”
