Othello

Othello at Trafalgar Studios 1

Why see Othello?

Love, racism, jealousy and desire are at the emotional core of Shakespeare's monumental tragedy - a tender love story shattered by one man's obsessive hatred of another.

Othello is noble, brave and victorious. Iago, passed over for a position in the army, fuels his diabolical revenge with hatred and snarling racism. Poignant, intense and heartbreaking, Othello mercilessly explores every inch of the human condition. Starring Lenny Henry.
