"The Moors" is a play by Jen Silverman that follows two spinster sisters, Agatha and Huldey, living in a remote, gothic manor on the English moors. Their isolated lives are disrupted by the arrival of a young governess, Emilie, and a mastiff with an unusual interest in a moorhen. The play explores themes of isolation, power, desire, and the subversion of gothic romance tropes.
In Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare includes two quite different stories of romantic love. Hero and Claudio fall in love almost at first sight, but an outsider, Don John, strikes out at their happiness. Beatrice and Benedick are kept apart by pride and mutual antagonism until others decide to play Cupid.

"Radium Girls" is a play based on the true story of young women working in dial-painting factories in the 1920s. They were instructed to lick their paintbrushes, unknowingly poisoning themselves with radium. The play focuses on their fight for justice against the U.S. Radium Corporation, highlighting themes of corporate greed, workers' rights, and the commercialization of science.
In this romantic, political comedy, Scoobi is an undocumented-law-student-love-child of the Zapatista rebellion. Petra, her mother, and former revolutionary is also undocumented. Roko is the soldier-ghost of Scoobi's dead soulmate. On the heels of Scoobi’s marriage-of-inconvenience to Dylan, (her "all-American" ticket to citizenship) this odd quartet navigates personal and political borders under the constant threat of deportation.
