Shakespeare in the Parks: Othello

Prejudice, love, jealousy, and power
The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in William Shakespeare’s classic tale of jealousy, power and prejudice. Noble Moorish general Othello, secretly married to his beloved Desdemona, chooses his friend Cassio for a promotion rather than his trusted but duplicitous ensign, Iago. Enraged, Iago weaves a complex scheme that spirals into a frenzy of suspicion, ultimately leading to tragic acts of violence and irreversible loss. This gripping 90-minute production preserves the classic language and core story of the full play, making it perfect for an afternoon of culture and entertainment for couples and busy families.

Come and enjoy this classic and timely tale that will give your group lots to talk about! Audience members are encouraged to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as comfortable seating.

Othello has the reading age of 13yrs+, typically for 7th - 9th graders.
