Shakespeare's tragedy of obsession and betrayal, by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company!
This new production of Shakespeare's tragedy of obsession and betrayal comes from the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company! First performed in 1604, its themes of jealousy, discrimination, racism, and revenge have never stopped its relevance, making it one of the most recognisable of The Bard's oeuvre.
A general in the Venetian army, the imposing Othello is aided by his ensign, the villainous and cunning Iago. With a merciless zeal, Iago plots behind the back of his captain, manipulating his emotions for his own gain. When the younger and less experienced Cassio is promoted ahead of him, his attention turns to destroying Othello once and for all, taking away the one thing he holds most dear, his wife Desdemona.
