Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) by Wellesley Repertory Theatre
By Ann-Marie MacDonald, directed by Nora Hussey
Ruth Nagel Jones Theatre in Alumnae Hall at Wellesley College
In this comedy—an 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.
