About
The Shakespeare Theatre Company presents this exploration of jealousy and racial prejudice at Harman Hall in Washington, DC, where Iago's manipulation of the Moorish general Othello unfolds across the stage. Running from May 19 through June 28, 2026, the production examines how love becomes a weapon in Shakespeare's most psychologically intense tragedy. The intimate setting amplifies the personal nature of Othello's downfall as his trust in those closest to him crumbles.
