Synopsis
The National Theatre brings Shakespeare’s part-thriller, part-melodrama to a stark and minimalist stage, where the story of a doomed marriage unfolds against a single looming set under hypnotic dramatic lights. Othello, a freed slave turned military commander, has secretly married Desdemona, the daughter of a senator. But Othello’s junior officer Iago conspires to disrupt the couple’s happiness, with fatal consequences. With themes of racism and toxic relationships, this is a raw and thought-provoking rendition of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy.
Please note this production contains racially offensive language and imagery, and depictions of mental and domestic abuse and violence, which some people may find upsetting.
