About the Play

‘This is the night/That either makes me or fordoes me quite.’ — OTHELLO, act 5, scene 1

Venice.

When the Turkish fleet launches an attack on Cyprus, La Duchessa and the Senate decide to send the valiant general Othello to Cyprus’ defence. Othello, obedient to follow orders, immediately sets sail for Cyprus, on board his newlywed wife, Desdemona.

Meanwhile, Othello’s ancient, Iago, is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against Othello. He manipulates Othello into believing that his wife Desdemona is unfaithful. Jealousy begins to consume Othello, turning his love for Desdemona into bitter hatred. The evidence? A strawberry-spotted handkerchief.

Adaptation and direction by Conny Loder & Yohn Yates

Produced by Ken Lawler & Peter Heinz
