The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in William Shakespeare’s classic tale of jealousy, love, 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.
Event is scheduled for May 17 and 18, 2025 with performance times: 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
