This paper also includes background information on the playwright, their inspirations for The Moors, including Charlotte Brontë’s letters, and historical information about the place and period in which it is set. I lay out my experience throughout the production process beginning with play selection through the run of the show. This includes rehearsal journals, my “Huldey diary”, a scored script, feedback from audience members, and self-reflection
