Hannah Cabell, Andrew Garman, Linda Powell to Star in Jen Silverman's The Moors

Casting is set for Jen Silverman's The Moors, a new production of the Playwrights Realm at the Duke on 42nd Street. The play will run February 27-March 25 under the direction of Mike Donahue.

The play is described as follows: "Dreaming of love and power, two sisters and their dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, the vast, desolate landscape of northern England. With the arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen, lies are revealed and loyalties shift as all are set on a strange and dangerous path. Inspired by the lives and work of the Brontë sisters, Silverman’s wild, rugged, and inhospitable moors become a backdrop against which women can dream of a better life, and a metaphor for the freedom and strength wherein people can reinvent themselves. Escaping the trappings of a seemingly Victorian setting, The Moors invites the audience to travel into a surreal world that subverts those ideals of power structures, gender and class."

The company will include Hannah Cabell (Marjory), Andrew Garman (Mastiff), Chasten Harmon (Emilie), Birgit Huppuch (Huldey), Teresa Avia Lim (Moor-Hen), and Linda Powell (Agatha).

The creative team includes Dane Laffrey (set), Anita Yavich (costumes), Jen Schriever (lighting), M.L. Dogg (sound), and Daniel Kluger (composer).
