Set in the vast English Moors in the Victorian era, two sisters (and a dog) live out their days dreaming of independence and love, until one day a governess (and a moorhen) disrupt that world, which sends them down a dangerous path. Think Charlotte Brontë meets Stephen King. Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. (www.concordtheatricals.com)

A woman in 19th century Norway, living a safe and secure life with a loving family, is haunted by the memory of more exciting times. When a stranger tempts her with the chance to return to those times, she is faced with an impossible choice – fulfilling her deepest desires, or remaining within the safety of her comfortable home – or is there a third way? By the author of A Doll House.
