Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief

Written by Paula Vogel
Directed by Jill Johnson

Perception can be deceiving. Thought to be a faithful lover and wife, Vogel tells quite a different story of Desdemona. After spending time satiating her sexual adventurousness in the local whorehouse with the aid of the camp prostitute Bianca, Desdemona shares her adventures with her steadfast confidant Emilia. Following Shakespeare’s Othello, Desdemona explores the female side of the male heavy power struggle. How much trouble can one little handkerchief cause?

“Vogel remains one of the smartest, moist original and engaging playwrights to come along in the last few years” – – -New York Newsday
