Description

''This is a remarkable, challenging and bravely original work.'' The GuardianRipped from the world by her husband''s paranoia, Desdemona turns in death towards the memory of Barbary, the North African maid who raised her: together, they explore the contours of death, race, war, love and motherhood, in a moving elegy.Audacious with ambition, Desdemona is Toni Morrison''s intimate reimagining of the fourth act of Shakespeare''s Othello, mixing monologue with Rokia Traore''s lyrical songs to re-examine the Bard''s presentation of race and female suffering.Part-play, part-concert, part-quest into the afterlife, Desdemona is published in Methuen Drama''s Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Joyce Green MacDonald.
