'Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
About
This exuberant comedy and feminist revision of Shakespeare’s 'Othello' and 'Romeo and Juliet' takes us from a dusty University office into the fraught and furious worlds of two of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies and turns them upside down.Constance Ledbelly embarks on a quest for Shakespearean origins and, ultimately, her own identity and is propelled through a very modern rabbit hole to land in the middle of the tragic turning points of each play. Will she succeed in saving first Desdemona, then Juliet, from their harrowing fates?
In this gender-bending, big-hearted, and crazily intelligent romp, Constance learns to love, sword-fight, dance Renaissance-style, and master a series of disguises. Irony and anger sing in perfect harmony with innocence and poignancy.
“Clever, pointed and entertaining… This play is one of the wildest and wooliest feminist reappraisals that the theatre has seen, and one of the most intellectually ambitious.” - The Globe and Mail
