Othello

A Moorish general's love for Desdemona is weaponized by the treacherous Iago in Shakespeare's most intimate and devastating portrait of jealousy and manipulation.

Othello's psychological intensity demands the intimate proximity of black box theaters and thrust stages, where audiences confront the play's racial politics and Iago's corrosive manipulation at close range-a staging approach that dominates 2026 productions across North America.
