The Galveston College Theatre Department proudly presents Jen Silverman’s darkly comic
and hauntingly beautiful play, “The Moors,” a gothic tale of love, power, and longing
on the desolate English moors.
Performances will take place in the Galveston College Black Box Theatre (Room FA-207)
on the second floor of the college’s Fine Arts Building at the main campus on the
following dates:
- Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m.

A blend of biting wit and brooding gothic atmosphere, “The Moors” follows two isolated
sisters, a maid, a governess, and even a mastiff as they grapple with desire, ambition
and the search for connection in a world that feels both intimate and wild. Silverman’s
play has been celebrated for its sharp humor and unsettling beauty, an inventive reimagining
of the gothic tradition.
