DESCRIPTION

Director Arin Arbus ignites Seattle’s summer with one of the most acclaimed stagings of a Shakespeare play in a decade, the Theatre for a New Audience production of Othello. When Othello and Desdemona elope to consummate their undeniable passion, Iago sees his chance to destroy the Moor he secretly hates. Iago convinces Othello his bride is having a tawdry affair with Lieutenant Cassio. Othello becomes enraged, Iago fuels the scandal and Othello’s world comes crashing down. And a handkerchief undoes them all.
