More About Othello
With language and psychological depth rivaling the highest of Shakespeare's achievements as a dramatist, Othello is a highly charged tale of jealousy, prejudice, revenge and the destruction of innocence. Scott Schwartz returns to the Alley (following his productions here of Much Ado About Nothing and Steve Martin's The Underpants) to direct a large cast led by Alley Company members David Rainey as Othello, James Black as Iago, Elizabeth Bunch as Desdemona and Elizabeth Heflin as Emilia.
Passed over for the position of Othello's lieutenant, Iago begins to plot his revenge against the Moor. Believing his wife, Emilia, has been unfaithful with Othello, Iago plans to poison Othello's marriage with jealousy. As Iago's lies begin to take hold, Othello questions more and more the fidelity of his new bride. Shakespeare weaves a bloody tapestry of deception and betrayal - love and honor, and creates one of the most thrilling plays in world theatre.
