Theater Reconstruction Ensemble will present the World Premiere of You On The Moors Now, written by up and coming playwright Jaclyn Backhaus, whose credits include Men On Boats (Clubbed Thumb/Playwrights Horizons SUPERLAB), Folk Wandering (Ars Nova/Joe's Pub) and The Incredible Fox Sisters (Ice Factory). The show is directed by John Kurzynowski (Artistic Director of TRE), with a cast that includes Anastasia Olowin (The Killer with Theatre for a New Audience) and Jon Riddleberger (National tour of War Horse with National Theatre).

You On The Moors Now is a grand theatrical examination of four well-known literary heroines of the 19th-century and their shocking rejection of the men who so ardently loved them. Gleaned from the pages of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Little Women, You On The Moors Now takes everything you've ever learned about love and puts it somewhere in the tall grasses, hidden from view, where only the truly brave will ever traverse to earn it.

The press dates are Fri 2/13 at 8:30pm, Sat 2/14 at 4pm, Sat 2/14 at 8:30pm, Sun 2/15 at 8:30pm, Wed 2/18 at 8:30pm.

Theater Reconstruction Ensemble's shows have been called "rewarding and exhilarating" (Back Stage), "bold, dynamic and utterly captivating" (Show Business), "fun and vibrant" (NYTheatre.com), "fearless and engaging" (Theatre Is Easy), "entertaining and provocative" (Letters From The Mezzanine) and "impeccable" (East Village Arts).

Theater Reconstruction Ensemble is a NY based collective of theater artists that reconstructs both classical and canonical forms of theatricality through the playful development of works over time. Committed to a collaborative approach to theater making, TRE functions as an ensemble of actors, playwrights, designers, and directors working together to thoroughly examine each element of a theatrical text or tradition and build productions that reflect the ensemble's personal connection to the works being explored.

Tickets are $18. Purchase at http://here.org or by calling 212-352-3101.
