Synopsis:
Enter the intimate Sam Wanamaker Playhouse as Shakespeare’s blistering tragedy, Othello, is illuminated by candlelight this winter.
Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks. But can his hard-won reputation, his marriage to Desdemona, and his own subconscious survive the toxic systems that surround him?
Sixteenth-century Venice becomes modern-day London, as Othello grapples with many of the same issues that successful Black people have faced for centuries.
This is an Othello for our times.
