GOODNIGHT DESDEMONA (GOOD MORNING JULIET) by Ann-Marie MacDonald

NEW DATES POSTED
October 15 FREE Preview 5:30 p.m.
October 16-18 at 7:30 p.m.
October 18 at 2:00 p.m.

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 Bard 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 a personal voyage of self-discovery. With an abundance of twists, fights, dances, seductions and wild surprises, the play is an absolute joy of theatricality - not surprisingly, considering the author who created it. 

Performed by Special Arrangement with Lorraine Wells & Company Talent Management Inc., 10 Mary Street, Suite 320, Toronto, Ontario M4Y 1P9 Canada

This production is a participating entry in the Kennedy Center American Theatre College Festival at San Jacinto South from October 20-25.

"Delightful, often hilarious ... MacDonald doesn't miss a trick, scattering satirical observations on love and sex, scholarship and the Baird like birdseed, while taking full advantage of the slapstick possibilities in Shakespearean cross-dressing."-The Washington Post
