Bryant Park assumes the guise of wartime Venice as The Drilling Company (TDC) of Shakespeare in the Parking Lot present their free rendition of Shakespeare's immortal drama.
From the show:
TDC's Othello, set in the crucible of a modern military action, examines the interplay of well-intentioned peacekeeping and progressive thinking butting painfully against the regressive backdrop of tribal instincts and backbiting social climbing. This take on the story of the Moorish prince and his doomed wife stars Emmanuel Elpenord as Othello, (previously in TDC productions of Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It), David Marantz as Iago (The Merry Wives of Windsor, Merchant of Venice), Liz Livingston as Desdemona (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet) and a cast that includes Karla Hendrick, Jack Sochet, Brad Frost, David Sitler, Remy Souchon, Jacob Lesh, Hayley Simmonds and Kyle Maxwell.
