WSRep presents an extraordinary new production of Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedy, OTHELLO, a psychological thriller rife with love, jealousy, envy, and revenge—this riveting tragedy smolders with timeless issues.
Directed by the acclaimed John “Ray” Proctor, Othello tells the story of a brilliant general, a refugee of slavery, passionately in love with his young wife, Desdemona, a bright, headstrong daughter of a senator; elevated by her status but stifled by its expectations. Wed in secret, Desdemona and Othello crave a new life together. But love across racial lines has a cost and as unseen forces conspire against them, they find their future is not theirs to decide.
