Desdemona's fate hinges on the location of a handkerchief...In this hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking re-imagining of Shakespeare’s classic play, playwright Paula Vogel exposes a very different side to Othello’s wife: a volatile and passionate young woman who revels in bawdy tales of conquest – much to the chagrin of her long suffering maid, Emilia, and the entertainment of local prostitute, Bianca.
Against the backdrop of a misogynistic sixteenth century world, Desdemona: a play about a handkerchief tells the wild but timeless tale of three very different women - who form an unlikely friendship fighting against the roles in which society has placed them.
Paula Vogel was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her play ‘How I Learned to Drive’, and an Obie Award for ‘the Baltimore Waltz’. Her plays have been performed on Broadway and across the world.
Directed by James Bounds
Produced by Ursula Early
