Goodnight Desdemona
(Good Morning Juliet)
- YEAR: 2001-2002

- Annelies de Jong (Secretary)
- PLAY: Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
- WRITTEN BY: Ann-Marie MacDonald
- ABSTRACT OF THE PLAY: Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is a wonderful feminist spoof of Shakespearean theatre, full of the original conventions,
involving mistaken identities, cross-dressing, and love triangles. Frustrated in love, Constance Ledbelly finds herself in the world of her thesis, where
Shakespeare's women turn out to be one category above their men. But whether that is better? It is also a quest to find herself, because, as it turns
out, there are two, sometimes even three sides to every person… A woman's part is not an easy one. MacDonald has based her play around the existing
texts of Othello and Romeo and Juliet. Even though more than half the dialogue is not the original Shakespeare, it is written in a very
similar style: almost all in unrhymed iambic pentameter. This may sometimes be difficult to follow, but the sheer exaggeration of characters such as
Juliet, Romeo, and Othello provides a rich source of comedy.
