Description
Desdemona is a bold reimagining of Shakespeare's Othello, presented as a moving elegy that explores themes of death, race, war, love and motherhood. In this intimate work, Toni Morrison turns her attention to the fourth act of the play, weaving together monologue and song to examine the Bard's portrayal of female suffering.
Blending elements of performance art with lyrical music, Desdemona offers a unique and thought-provoking take on one of literature's most enduring stories. With a new introduction by Joyce Green MacDonald, this publication is part of Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series.
Published in 2024, Desdemona is a remarkable work that challenges readers to re-examine the past and its ongoing impact on our lives today.
