Auditions for Othello

We will be holding auditions for our upcoming production of Othello towards the end of March, beginning of April.

A tempestuous journey from scandal and intrigue to lust and vengeance.

Featuring a live string quartet, original music from composer Ron McAllister, and an ensemble cast, the world of Othello is brought vividly to life. We combine Shakespeare’s vivid language with some of Britain’s greatest talent to tell a dangerous tale of ambition, jealousy, and love.

Tackling subjects of racism, belonging, and deception, this is a classic take on a poignant tragedy that mercilessly explores every inch of the human condition.

Full casting breakdown here.
