A gothic romance with a sharp edge is coming to a Helena stage this fall. 'The Moors,' described by The Guardian as "deliciously dark," runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at a matinee time, offering Helena audiences a theatrical sendup that skewers the conventions of Victorian-era Gothic fiction while weaving in a story of queer desire and a critique of the patriarchy.
The play leans into genre tropes — the innocent governess, the brooding manor, the mysterious man in the attic — before pulling the rug out from under them. It's the kind of show that works on two levels: funny enough for a date night, substantive enough to argue about over a drink on Last Chance Gulch afterward.
Ticket and venue details were not fully available in advance materials, but showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM with Sunday performances also scheduled. Prospective attendees should check with the presenting organization for location and ticket information.
