Details

Othello, a Moor, falls in love with Desdemona but is broken by jealousy falsely encouraged. Shakespeare's most human play sets delicacy and power, trust and jealousy, love and hate, good and evil in stark and tragic opposition. Powerless in the face of their own self destructive instincts, the characters are caught on a downward spiral towards inevitable tragedy. The production is set in the intimate world of the 1950s office, where women, like Iago, were still finding their way in the workplace. A male-dominated world where vicious rumours and mistrust end in tragedy.
