As the wrongly accused and suffering wife of Othello, Desdemona 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, Desdemona was far from the quivering naïf we’ve all come to know. A comic and raunchy take on the lives of the women behind "Othello" on the day of Desdemona's murder.

"Vogel remains one of the smartest, most original and engaging playwrights to come along in the last few years." —NY Newsday.
