Constance Ledbelly falls down a rabbit hole. In this exuberant comedy, a drab and dusty academic deciphers a cryptic manuscript she believes to be the original source of Othello and Romeo & Juliet and soon crashes down into the plays themselves. Constance visits Juliet and Desdemona, helps save their lives, and finds out exactly what these women are about!

In true Shakespearean spirit, Constance plunders the plays, all the while engaging in a personal voyage of self-discovery. With an abundance of twists, fights, dances, seductions and wild surprises, the play is an absolute joy of theatricality.

This Canadian play is a winner of the Governor General’s Award for Drama and is written by the author of Fall On Your Knees. Welcome back Director Brian Mather after his breath-taking work with this year’s hit The Revolutionists.
