Synopsis

"Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)... its central character is Constance Ledbelly, a lecturer in Renaissance drama at Queen's University, enamoured of the oily male professor whose academic papers she ghost-writes. She's also trying to decipher a coded manuscript which she believes is a lost source for Othello and Romeo and Juliet. Not only does she decode the manuscript, but she literally falls into the two worlds of the plays and causes each of them to turn from tragedy to comedy."
