Othello, a noble moor, a military hero, is caught in a terrifying web of self destruction in Shakespeare's gripping masterpiece. The play is full of disturbing and conflicting emotions: love and hate, jealousy and ambition, sexual desire and individual integrity, as the characters struggle against the forces that overpower them.

This timeless tragedy also shows the tremendous power of words to manipulate and to persuade, and reveals our own vulnerability against the force of evil that is everywhere in the world today.

Using minimalist set pieces with simple costumes that reflected a contemporary and Renaissance look, the production focussed on bringing clarity to the text, physically and verbally.
