''This is a remarkable, challenging and bravely original work.'' The Guardian

Ripped from the world by her husband''s paranoia, Desdemona turns in death towards the memory of Barbary, the North African maid who raised her: together, they explore the contours of death, race, war, love and motherhood, in a moving elegy.

Audacious with ambition, Desdemona is Toni Morrison''s intimate reimagining of the fourth act of Shakespeare''s Othello, mixing monologue with Rokia Traore''s lyrical songs to re-examine the Bard''s presentation of race and female suffering.

Part-play, part-concert, part-quest into the afterlife, Desdemona is published in Methuen Drama''s Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Joyce Green MacDonald.
