Royal Shakespeare Company
Othello is at the peak of his powers: not only Venice’s greatest general but now husband to the noble and beautiful Desdemona.
But he does not know that in passing over his servant Iago for promotion, he has created a deadly – and brilliant – enemy.
Hailed by the New York Times as ‘one of the most compelling classical stage actors of his generation’, Broadway’s Tony Award-nominated John Douglas Thompson plays the titular role in Othello.
Designer Judith Bowden will bring the world of the play to life on stage with impressive sets and beautiful Jacobean period costumes.
Director Tim Caroll’s new production of Shakespeare’s timeless story of jealousy, deception, and betrayal, plays in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from 11 October to 23 November.
