Prince Edward Collegiate Institute drama students will tell the story of Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) beginning today.
The Canadian comedy by Ann-Marie MacDonald tells the story of Constance Ledbelly, an English lit professor from Queen’s who goes on a subconscious journey of self discovery, theorizing that Shakespeare’s tragedies were originally comedies.
