Four literary heroines of the nineteenth century set conventionalism ablaze when they turn down marriage proposals from their equally famous gentlemen callers. Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice) Jo March (Little Women) Cathy (Wuthering Heights) and Jane (Jane Eyre) confront Mr. Darcy, Laurie Laurence, Heathcliff and Mr. Rochester in turn as they cross their “moors:” the intersection between girlhood and womanhood and ponder their gender normative futures.
What results is a confluence of love, anger, grief and bloodshed as the ensemble struggles to reconcile romantic ideologies of the past with their modern ideas of courtship. These classic novels are turned upside down in a grand theatrical battle royale in this contemplative comedy.
