Two Views of Shakespeare's Classic Plays
Desdemona: A Tale About a Handkerchief by Paula VogelMacbeth's Knife by William Shakespeare (adapted by Nobody)
Beowulf Alley Theatre Company presents two adaptations of Shakespeare's towering tragedies, Desdemona: A Tale About a Handkerchief and Macbeth's Knife, opening September 6th at 11 S. 6th Avenue.
Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief by Pulitzer-Proze winning playwright Paula Vogel is a comic deconstruction of Shakespeare's Othello. Focusing on the long-suffering wives and women of the play, Vogel's vision is rich in tongue-in-cheek humor and raises important questions on the treatment of women.
Macbeth's Knife is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth that focuses on the psychological responses to war and loss. Macbeth has returned victorious from a bloody conflict. Lady Macbeth has lost a child. The murderous couple is driven by visions of destruction and tragedy. They are too "supp'd full of horrors."
Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief features Candace Bean, Diana Ouradnik, and Nicole Scott.
Macbeth's Knife features Aaron Guisinger, Bree Boyd-Martin, Sara Jackson, Gary Tyrell, India Osborne, Shannon Rzucidlo, Armen Sarrafian, Melenie Kersey, and Andrew Kincaid.
