Description
Othello
by William Shakespeare
directed by Ellen Geer
One of Shakespeare's final plays, Othello scales the heights of storytelling and dives into the human psyche with passion and wisdom. Four hundred years after the ink has dried, this brilliant rendering of jealousy, friendship, and ambition gone awry speaks eloquently to audiences today.
From the metropolis of wealthy Venice,to the isolated military camp of the island of Cyprus, this tragedy takes a universal and ageless look at racism, lies that are manipulated into false truths, unabashed ambition stemming from jealousy, and the destruction of a rare and beautiful love.
The themes of this play resonate throughout history to today, and create an excellent sounding board for important discussions for any age student encountering the material for the first time.
