Production details

Shakespeare's classic in dialogue with a text by SJ Brady. A work-in-progress preview. The unthinkable has happened. Othello has murdered her wife. What force on earth could possibly lead someone to kill the one they love? By Jove Theatre Company bring their new adaptation of Shakespeare's classic to the 'write here, right now' festival in a special preview performance ahead of a full run in the summer. Recasting the lead as a gay woman and updating the setting to the summer of the same-sex marriage row, this production features newly written text in dialogue with Shakespeare's original material. New perspectives are offered as these characters speak back to and resist the destinies pre-determined for them by literature's most formidable force. Audience feedback at the preview will be essential in shaping the production ahead of the summer, so come and watch, tell us what you think, and take an active role in shaping a piece of theatre.
