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. Set in the claustrophobic world of modern politics, SUDS’ third offering to the Brighton Fringe is a contemporary take on Shakespeare’s classic play which explores the invasion of privacy, and the devastating effect it can have on people’s lives. By submersing the play in modern celebrity and paparazzi culture, Director Lucy Atkinson proves the relevance of William Shakespeare’s Othello to the modern world once and for all.
