Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning

In this exuberant
comedy - and original revision of Shakespeare's
Othello and Romeo and Juliet - Constance Ledbelly, a drab
and dusty academic, deciphers a cryptic manuscript she
believes to be the original source for the tragedies, and is
transported into the plays themselves. She visits
Juliet and Desdemona, has a hand in saving them from the
deaths the Baird had planned for them, and finds out what
these women are all about. In true Shakespearean
spirit, Constance plunders the plays and creates something
new, all the while engaging in personal voyage of
self-discovery. With an abundance of twists,
fights, dances, seductions and wild surprises, the play is
an absolute joy of theatricality. 8:00 pm evenings / 2:00
