About the Show

Dynamic theatre company Frantic Assembly presents a 21st-century retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy.

A new production of one of Shakespeare's most devastating tragedies. A story about social standing, love and betrayal.

When the villainous Iago is passed for promotion, he seeks revenge on the confident and intelligent Othello. Events unravel when Othello is led to believe that his wife has been unfaithful and he subsequently becomes overwhelmed by jealousy.

This revival production returns with an updated version following successful runs in 2008 and 2014.

Critic Reviews (3)
