Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) by Ann-Marie MacDonald is a 1988 three-act comedy play about Constance Ledbelly, an assistant English professor at Queen’s University, who gets absorbed into the texts of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet in an attempt to prove her thesis that these tragedies were originally comedies. Her journey through these stories becomes a transformative experience, reflecting her own subconscious struggles and desires, and ultimately leading her back to her reality with newfound self-awareness.
