"O beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-ey'd monster". Othello is a true cornerstone of Western theater. William Shakespeare's cautionary tale of love and betrayal has riveted audiences for more than four centuries.
Othello has triumphed over racial prejudice to succeed on the battlefield. He duly appoints a new lieutenant, and marries the beautiful Desdemona. But servant Iago hasn't received a promotion - and takes bitter revenge by persuading his master that Desdemona is disloyal. Tormented by jealousy, Othello sparks a tragic chain of events from which nobody emerges unscathed.
A meditation on the cost of pride and the danger of putting trust in appearances, Othello is a bold and uncompromising play which still has the power to shock. Featuring a sparse, modern stage set, Othello tickets are a must for anybody who's ever battled the green-eyed monster.
