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 贝博体育 students may watch the performance for free with valid student identification. General admission tickets are $10.
