Two unhappy Branwell sisters live in an isolated home in the wilderness with their maid and family dog. A young woman arrives at their doorstep expecting to become the governess of Mr. Branwell’s child. Both sisters try to manipulate the situation to their advantage against the backdrop of the gloomy and foggy moors. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility that satirizes the gothic themes found in the works by the Brontë sisters.
