Othello

October 26 – November 17
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Marshall B Garrett

The great hero Othello begins to settle his life with the divine Desdemona, sparking a deep resentment from his demonic ancient Iago. These three are sent to the wild island of Cyprus, where passions run hot and jealousies deep. Desdemona brings happiness to Othello’s dark life and grants his soul rest, but Iago has a bloodier end in mind for his war god. A disgraced lieutenant, a lovelorn fool, and Iago’s own wife make up the net he casts to ensnare Othello, but Iago’s quest to destroy Othello may fall victim to his own hubris.

Holding a place with Hamlet and King Lear as the greatest tragedies written in the English language, Othello clips at a pace unheard of in Shakespeare, never letting anyone breathe lest they uncover the plot. The battle for Othello’s soul simmers with passionate brutality, sings with violent poetry, and unfolds a love story with a more inevitable end than Romeo and Juliet.
