The Bluma Appel Theatre season is underwritten by:
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
A joyful comedy that flips the script on Shakespeare's most infamous heroines
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her landmark play, acclaimed novelist and playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald steps into the spotlight as Constance Ledbelly, the overlooked academic who tumbles headlong into Shakespeare’s worlds and discovers that the heroines (and even Constance herself) may be capable of far more than anyone imagined.
At once wildly funny and moving, this Canadian classic unleashes Desdemona and Juliet as fierce forces of their own destiny and reminds us that sometimes the bravest act is claiming your own story.
"Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" is published by Vintage Canada. "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" was commissioned, developed, and premiered by Nightwood Theatre.
