Another production of *Goodnight Desdemona/Good Morning Juliet*: at the New
Jersey Shakespeare Festival's Other Stage in the summer of 1994.  It was part
of their annual Colloquium (the theme that year was Fathers and Daughters in
Shakespeare.  Dan La Penta at Drew University would probably be happy to answer
questions about that production (or direct you to someone else):

Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is a sensational pay by Anne-Marie
Macdonald. Coach House Press publishes it; if your American bookshop won't
order from them tell 'em to try consortium distributors. The DC production this
past October was at the Wooly Mammoth Theatre Company and was (I believe) a
revival of an earlier production they put on. What a play! Hysterically funny,
witty, silly, and intelligent all at once...

An addition to the growing list of productions of *Goodnight, Desdemona, (Good
Morning Juliet)* in the U.S.--a fledgling professional theatre in Ithaca NY,
called the Kitchen, produced the play last summer. The play was relatively well
attended, possibly because it played concurrently with a production of
*Othello* at the larger, more established summer theatre in Ithaca, the Hangar.

Question about US productions of GDGJ:
 
Do US productions change the university from Queen's to an American one? Part
of the delight of the play for me, as a Queen's graduate, was seeing the
English department nicely skewered.  Not that Queen's is essential to the play
(except for the "Queen of Academe" line), but I hope that the Canadian
references are not changed "for export."

The Washington D.C. production was at the Wolly Mamouth theater. I have a
program should anyone desire additional information.
