Here’s the press release:
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) takes the stage
July 23 – August 1 2009
A play by Ann-Marie MacDonald, directed by Susan Gayle Todd
AUSTIN, TX—June 18, 2009—The Weird Sisters Women’s Theater Collective performs Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) beginning July 23 at Austin’s own Cathedral of Junk. The play will run through Saturday, August 1.
Austin’s favorite all-woman troupe’s fifth annual production features veteran actress Chris Humphrey as Constance Ledbelly, a quivering academic with heretical ideas about Shakespeare’s revered Othello and Romeo and Juliet. When she finds herself warped into the worlds of the plays, Constance must gird her trembling loins—with a little help from Desdemona and Juliet.
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is a Velveeta-nibbling, Coors-beer-swilling, hilariously irreverent look at Shakespeare’s classics.
Tickets will be sold on a sliding scale (pay what you can) of $5 to $20 (cash and checks at the door). Performances at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
