DESDEMONA a play about a handkerchief

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre presents DESDEMONA a play about a handkerchief, which runs in repertory with Emilia in BU's Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre. Desdemona , written by Paula Vogel and directed by Grant Sorenson, follows the wrongly accused and suffering wife of Shakespeare’s tragic Moor, Othello, Desdemona, who has long been viewed as the “victim of circumstance.” But as Pulitzer Prize-winner Paula Vogel demonstrates in her comic deconstruction of Shakespeare’s play—aligning tongue-in-cheek humor while raising serious questions as to the role of women through the ages—Desdemona was far from the quivering naïf we’ve all come to know.
