Notes

History

The production premiered at Teatro Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, at the main National University Campus in Mexico City, on February 14th 2009. Desdemona: A Play About a Handkerchief by Paula Vogel was presented at the same time in a smaller venue of UNAM, as a companion piece. This pairing offered theatregoers the possibility to experience both Shakespeare’s tragedy and an alternative, feminist view of it.
