Goodnight Desdemona - Good Morning Juliet

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, and finds out what these women are 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

REVIEWS

"A tour de force.... Ann-Marie delivers her message with tremendous wit, breathtaking wordplay and great gusts of knee-slapping bread comedy" ~ The Ottawa Citizen

"Magical.... An uproarious and smart comedy" ~ Pittsburgh Press
