At the bleeding heart of Othello is Shakespeare’s ultimate villain, Iago. Smooth and ever-scheming, Iago is a ringmaster of deceit, with an otherworldly ability to bend others’ wills to his own. His biggest target? Othello, the heroic general who is blind to the devious motives of his subordinate. With a few swift, destructive strokes, Iago causes fatal devastation in the previously charmed life of Othello and his wife, Desdemona. Come join us for Shakespeare’s exhilarating tale of love malformed, truth corrupted, and the bonds of vengeance manifested only in life’s darkest hours.
