Simpson Productions presents Jen Silverman’s The Moors

Simpson Productions, the theatre, opera, and musical theatre collaboration at Simpson College, presents Jen Silverman’s The Moors as their first production for the 2024/25 season on Oct. 10-12. Presented in the intimate Barnum Studio Theatre, The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation and visibility.

Performances are in the Blank Performing Arts Center at Simpson College on October 10-12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $9.00 for adults, $7.00 for seniors and non-Simpson students, $6.50 for group (10 or more) tickets, and free for Simpson students and employees with IDs.

The Moors is about two sisters and a dog who live out their lives on the bleak English moors, and dream of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path.

Silverman was inspired by the Brontë Letters when they wrote the play and had been reading Charlotte Brontë’s letters for months prior. The theatrical language of the letters inspired Silverman and how they approached The Moors.

Silverman is a graduate of the Iowa Playwright’s Workshop. Their play The Roommate is running on Broadway and stars Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone.
Simpson Productions is excited to welcome guest artists Jenn Allton as the fight and intimacy director and Anna Lackaff as the music director.
