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. A radical reworking of Shakespeare s Othello, set in the Bahamas. Bahamian blood runs high in this feisty reworking of Shakespeare s classic. In a world of opposites, black is white, freedom is imprisonment and love, through the distorting prism of jealousy, remains as unpredictable as the ocean.
