This rowdy, hysterical, feminist update on Othello is written by Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of How I Learned to Drive, and serves as the perfect addition to summer fun in Hailey. As the wrongly accused and suffering wife of Shakespeare’s tragic Moor, Othello, Desdemona has long been viewed as the “victim of circumstance.” But as Paula Vogel demonstrates in her comic deconstruction of Shakespeare’s play – aligning tongue-in-cheek humor while raising serious questions as to the role of women through the ages – Desdemona was far from the quivering naif we’ve all come to know.
