About Othello
Shakespeare’s Othello explodes to life like never before in a fiery new production.
This gripping reimagining of the classic tragedy dives headfirst into a world of manipulation, jealousy, and toxic masculinity. As ambition festers and loyalties crumble, Othello lays bare the devastating cost of mistrust and the raw, destructive power of unchecked emotion. Bold, intense, and unforgettable—don’t miss this visceral take on one of Shakespeare’s most searing plays.
