"There is great imagination and intrigue here, and it is eminently entertaining." - The Guardian

Backdropped by the bleak English moors, two sisters (and their dog) live a dreary existence, as they dream of forbidden love and power. So, when a hapless governess and a moor-hen arrive at their manor house, the two see a chance to claim what they've always wanted... no matter how destructive.

A loving pastiche of the gothic genre, Jen Silverman echoes and channels the Bronte sisters in this irreverent celebration, that is equal parts brutal, lusty, and deranged.

A macabre, queer thriller, The Moors is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Christine Scarfuto.
