Desdemona

a play about a handkerchief - Premiere

It is the women who are in focus in Pulitzer prize-winner Vogel's sexy, hilarious and provocative revamp of Shakespeare's "Othello". Here, Desdemona doesn't just raise her voice; she also raises eyebrows - all over the town. The virtuous, shrinking violet is reborn as party girl extraordinaire - Othello's worst nightmare!

Three strong women form a sociological triangle, demonstrating how destructive female relationships can be in a male-dominated world.

Was Desdemona really so innocent? Were Shakespeare's women really prisoners of their class? Take a look behind the scenes and decide for yourself.
