Othello

Some people don’t need proof.

Shakespeare’s epic tragedy, performed by three women explores disinformation, weaponising language and manipulation in the 21st Century. 

Staged in-the-round, this unflinching story will tangle you in Iago’s cyclical web of poisonous lies, embroiling you to confront: What’s the worst thing you’ve said about someone? What were the consequences? Did you regret it?

Led by award-winning director, Victoria Gartner and performed by Ellie Gallimore (Othello), Kat Stidston (Iago) and Nicole Cuthbert (Desdemona), this all female partnership takes Shakespeare’s classic by the book, and offers a fresh, invigorating new perspective for audiences living in a digitally precarious society bombarded with misinformation. 

A modern adaptation, original music and multi-roling; dive into the world of Shakespeare and the calamity of Othello.
