Details

Othello, a Moor, falls in love with Desdemona but is broken by jealousy falsely encouraged. Shakespeare's most human play sets delicacy and power, trust and jealousy, love and hate, good and evil in stark and tragic opposition. Powerless in the face of their own self destructive instincts, the characters are caught on a downward spiral towards inevitable tragedy. Iago, appearing as one shape-shifting, corrosive force thrillingly dramatised by three performers. This imaginative and fresh take on Othello conceived by director Sinead Rushe, allows audiences to be fully immersed in the story, and to understand how Iago is able to penetrate Othello's mind so deeply.
