“The Ochre House team, which prides itself on its disregard for everyday logic, never lets an audience down when it comes to audacious visual puns, cleverly imagined sets,… and the sheer energy of a skilled, energetic cast of actors and first-rate musicians.”

The Baron gets a scolding from his mother’s portrait while the chair listens in.

MOVING CREATURES, written and directed by Matthew Posey, is a politically charged satire about an evil and intolerable oligarch, Baron Leopold McDoogal, and his four monstrous creations. The Baron is a soured, bloated old goat who lords over a once rich and beautiful region that is now a wasteland due to the Baron’s greediness.

People suffer, and their lives have become intolerable under the reckless hand of this narcissistic ruler. The monsters were once beautiful, successful women that fell victim to the Baron’s insatiable desire to kill, destroy and rebuild in his own image. They are now very weird, freakishly vengeful, incredibly clever women who avenge their untimely deaths; consequently, healing the scourge of the land.

MOVING CREATURES, which takes place during the Gilded Age at the turn of the 20th century, is a mysterious world that has a moving mansion, disrespectful furniture, talking portraits of surly ancestors, and constantly changing rooms, gardens, and grand halls. MOVING CREATURES is a wild ride that shows “no mercy” to the tyrannical and reminds us of the frailty of human nature.
