Ochre House Theater will present Moving Creatures, a politically charged satire about an evil and intolerable oligarch, Baron Leopold Verdugo, 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.

The story, 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.
