  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In this exuberant comedy and original revision of Shakespeare's <em>Othello</em> and <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> -- Constance Ledbelly, a drab and dusty academic, deciphers a cryptic manuscript she believes to be the original source for the tragedies, and is transported into the plays themselves. She visits Juliet and Desdemona, has a hand in saving them, and finds out what these women are about. In true Shakespearean spirit, Constance plunders the plays and creates something new, all the while engaging in a personal voyage of self-discovery. With an abundance of twists, fights, dances, seductions, and wild surprises, the play is an absolute joy of theatricality.&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In this exuberant comedy and original revision of Shakespeare's <em>Othello</em> and <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> -- Constance Ledbelly, a drab and dusty academic, deciphers a cryptic manuscript she believes to be the original source for the tragedies, and is transported into the plays themselves. She visits Juliet and Desdemona, has a hand in saving them, and finds out what these women are about. In true Shakespearean spirit, Constance plunders the plays and creates something new, all the while engaging in a personal voyage of self-discovery. With an abundance of twists, fights, dances, seductions, and wild surprises, the play is an absolute joy of theatricality.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In this exuberant comedy and original revision of Shakespeare's <em>Othello</em> and <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> -- Constance Ledbelly, a drab and dusty academic, deciphers a cryptic manuscript she believes to be the original source for the tragedies, and is transported into the plays themselves. She visits Juliet and Desdemona, has a hand in saving them, and finds out what these women are about. In true Shakespearean spirit, Constance plunders the plays and creates something new, all the while engaging in a personal voyage of self-discovery. With an abundance of twists, fights, dances, seductions, and wild surprises, the play is an absolute joy of theatricality.&lt;/div&gt;]]>
