Desdemona, a Play About a Handkerchief

By Paula Vogel

Book Overview

As the wrongly accused and suffering wife of Shakespeare's Othello, Desdemona has long been viewed as the "victim of circumstance." But as Pulitzer Prize-winner 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 na f we've all come to know.
