The script is a treat. Playwright Paula Vogel delivers with this re-imagining and fleshed out version of Desdemona from Othello. What thoughts and motives drive her on? What was happening behind the scenes leading up to her fateful end?

There are some hiccups.

Pacing is an issue in the 70 minute show. The script builds to some lovely reveals, but we never got the momentum leading up to them. On opening night, the accent work meandered and took us out of the story more than a few times.
