Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)

Ann-Marie MacDonald’s beloved Canadian classic Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) returns to the stage in a joyful production that completely flips the script on traditional Shakespearean tragedy.

Staged at the Bluma Appel Theatre inside the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, this vibrant comedy drops a frustrated academic right into the middle of Othello and Romeo and Juliet, armed only with her knowledge of literary theory and a whole lot of nerve. Located in the heart of downtown Toronto near Front and Yonge, the venue puts you right next to some of the city's finest pre-show dining and bustling urban energy.

### What to Expect Expect lightning-fast dialogue, uproarious subversions of classic literature, and a brilliant exploration of agency, desire, and identity. MacDonald's landmark play remains just as sharp, hilarious, and culturally relevant today as it was at its premiere.

### Practical Information Head to the Bluma Appel Theatre (27 Front St E) for this limited run. Tickets can be secured directly through Canadian Stage. The venue is easily reached via Union Station or the King subway stop, ensuring a smooth trip whether you're coming from the east end or downtown core.
