GOODNIGHT DESDEMONA (GOOD MORNING JULIET)
January 28th to February 12, 2022 (limited capacity with Physical Distancing
By Ann-Marie MacDonald
Show Times: Wed-Sat at 7:30pm, Sat/Sun at 2:00pm (no matinee on Jan 29)
Tickets: Adult $23, Student/Senior $18
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is an exuberant comedy and feminist revisioning of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet. It takes us from a dusty office in Canada’s Queen’s University, into the fraught and furious worlds of two of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, and turns them upside-down. Constance Ledbelly is the beleaguered “spinster” academic, and unlikely heroine who embarks on a quest for Shakespearean origins and, ultimately, her own identity. When she deciphers an ancient and neglected manuscript, Constance is propelled through a very modern rabbit hole and lands smack in the middle of the tragic turning points of each play in turn. Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is a gender-bendy, big-hearted and crazily intelligent romp, where irony and anger sing in perfect harmony with innocence and poignancy.
Recommended for Ages 14 & Up Note: Our ticketing program automatically holds the seat in front, behind and beside your group when you purchase your tickets to allow for spacing between you and the other patrons.
