DESDEMONA:
A PLAY ABOUT A HANDKERCHIEF
by Paula Vogel
May 19 - June 11
at the Capitol hill arts workshop
The world’s a huge thing. It is a great price for a small vice.
The three female characters from Shakespeare's Othello tackle friendship, relationships, sex, and liberation in the back room of the castle while the story of Othello (and its dire consequences) unfolds around them. Told through a third-wave feminist lens, this raunchy romp through feminism is a hilarious and poignant delight.
Featuring original music from Manuela Osorio
