Macy Foss, an adjunct faculty member in theatre at Ozarks, is the play’s director. The cast includes, Auriane Devaux as Desdemona; Kate Baptists as Emilia; and Jonathan Ezra Adderly as Bianca.
The play’s synopsis reads: “As the wrongly accused and suffering wife of Shakespeare’s tragic Moor, Othello, Desdemona has long been viewed as the ‘victim of circumstance.’ But as Pulitzer Prize-winner Paula Vogel demonstrates in her comic deconstruction of Shakespeare’s play—aligning tongue-in-cheek humor while raising serious questions as to the role of women through the ages—Desdemona was far from the quivering naïf we’ve all come to know.”
