Desdemona by Paula Vogel

Very brief synopsis
A Play about a Handkerchief

What if Desdemona was not the innocent victim of unbridled jealousy but, in fact,
the unfaithful strumpet of Iago’s report?

A glimpse into the private back chamber of Othello’s palace on Cyprus, discovers a re-imagined Desdemona full of bawdy tales of conquest and sexual experience. Dark and tongue-in-cheek, Desdemona gives voice to the previously muted women in Shakespeare’s Othello and raises serious questions as to the role and depiction of women throughout cultural history.
