Summary

This great tragedy confronts the mystery at the heart of evil and contains some of Shakespeare's most magnificent dramatic verse.

Othello, a Moorish general in the service of Venice, has married Desdemona, beautiful daughter of a Venetian senator. But Iago, Othello's malignant ensign, is determined to destroy their happiness. Cunningly bending Othello to his own purposes, Iago persuades the Moor that Desdemona is unfaithful to him. Tormented in a hell of jealousy, Othello moves inexorably toward the destruction of his innocent wife and himself.

Othello is played by Don Warrington, David Threlfall is Iago, Anne-Marie Duff is Desdemona, and Jasper Britton plays Cassio.

Great production

Really good performances from all. Iago is surely one of the most evil of Shakespeare’s creations.

Beautifully Acted

Really enjoyed the acting in this production but found the music too discordant and loud to compliment it effectively.

In every other aspect- perfect.

Brilliantly done.

All the actors are in first class voice with as much excitement and suspense as is needed, Don Warrington is an excellent Othello and as many "Aghhhhhh Iago's" as you may well like. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
