THE LADY DEMANDS SATISFACTION

SUMMER 2018

When a young maiden learns she must defend her inheritance in a duel, she struggles with a conniving suitor, a servant girl posing as a Prussian fencing master who doesn’t speak English, and her renowned aunt – the finest blade anywhere – to save her house and lands.

Desdemona, a woman in white smiling in front of Othello, a woman with a contemplative look on her face, in front of Iago, a woman whispering into Othello's ear.

OTHELLO
