Othello

By William Shakespeare

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

Line

Play Information

Includes a full string quartet of actor-musicians.

Played with seven professional actors, this version of Othello comes to you louder and clearer than any other in recent memory.

We tackle topics of racism, belonging and deception in its classic period, elegantly referencing our modern world where all sense of identity is turned topsy-turvy.

Using the sense of water and motion, Icarus sets Othello at sea near Venice and Cyprus. Design elements and performance style will bring the audience into the Venetian world of war, movement, and contrast.
