By Meghan Wolf, actress playing Desdemona in Othello, Denver Center Theatre Company
Today we worked on the DEATH SCENE! Talked about the heart of this tragedy — that, despite the strength it exhibited in smashing the convention of the times, Desdemona and Othello’s love never gets a chance to grow…but is the true tragedy that it was destined to fail from the start? We discussed where exactly in the script Desdemona starts to believe that her life is in peril and (spoiler alert!) the various ways we might stage the putting out of her light. Nice, light drama on a snowy afternoon!
From rehearsal, I went to the costume shop where I got to glide around in mock-ups of the most fabulous clothes. The lines are elegant yet girly and promise to be delicious to play in. The super tight corset and low-heeled, lace-up boots were already giving me a lot of information about movement (and lack thereof).
Tomorrow, Robert and I shoot some promo footage in the morning – looking forward to playing on our feet if only for a few hours! Keep your eyes peeled for our commercial when it airs
