Audition Announcement
THE MOORS, a play by Jen Silverman

“…a feisty ensemble delivers a laugh-out-loud satire of Gothic romance with a feminist twist and a left-arm hug to the Bronte sisters” – Martha Heimberg, theatrejones.com

Director Mathew Green is casting five female roles. Any ethnicity. 18 and older.

The roles, as described by the playwright:

AGATHA – Elder spinster sister. Spidery. Dangerous. Powerful.

HULDEY – Younger spinster sister. She has a diary. She wants to be famous.

EMILIE – The governess. A romantic with a sweet face.

MARJORY – The scullery maid. Down-trodden. Strategic.

A MOOR-HEN – A small chicken. Practical and very present-tense.

**Please note that the role of THE MASTIFF has already been cast.
