Desdemona; A Play About A Handkerchief

In this feminist retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy Othello, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive), the Moor's wife Desdemona, Iago's wife Emilia and the prostitute Bianca emerge from the background to drive the action.

The Hunger Artists Theatre Company is proud to present Paula Vogel’s feminist play, Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief directed by Hunger Artists’ Associate Managing Director, Katie Chidester.     

Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief parallels the action of Othello by following the women in the play, but they’re not the women that you expect them to be.  Desdemona is a sexually adventurous young woman who has befriended Bianca, the camp prostitute for a chance to explore the seedier side of the world under her husband’s nose.  Along with her faithful handmaid Emilia, who’s married to treacherous Iago, they soon find out how much trouble one little handkerchief can cause.
