As you may well know, there is a fairly filmed performance of "MM" in which Isabella walks off the stage during Duke Vincento's last lines. The audience is left to imagine what she will do next -- return to the convent, seek a more reliable husband, set up house with Claudio, leave town with Mariana, etc. I am sure your students had ideas for her.

No, I didn't know that, and am grateful to learn. Yeah, there's a lot of anger out there, and it's bound to get into performances. I'm wondering how revisionist the Great Lakes production will be here. Nice as always to have you as a reader.
