Shadows & Dreams Theatre presents

DESDEMONA
"Yet she must die, else she'll betray more men. Put out the light, and then put out the light"
Othello : Act 5, Scene 2

A lost handkerchief. A jealous husband. A violent end. But not an innocent victim.

As Iago's plots tear the palace of Cypress apart, take a glimpse into the back room and see the plots, secrets and sins of the women soon to be destroyed by the perfidy of men.
Paula Vogel's provocative retelling of Othello is a darkly comic meditation on class, sex, power, violence, and friendship (or lack thereof) between women in a man's world.

September 24th-26th (8pm) and 27th (2pm & 8pm)
at Pacific Theatre (1440 West 12th Ave, Vancouver)

Tickets $15
Tickets and Info : (604) 515-0704
