Melbourne Shakespeare Company: Othello

23 September @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

Event Series (See All)

A riveting new adaptation of Othello, directed by the acclaimed Tanya Gerstle. In her bold and immersive style, Shakespeare’s tragedy is distilled to its raw essence by Gerstle, with a powerful five-actor ensemble delivering an intense, deeply human exploration of jealousy, power, and betrayal. A gripping, unflinching take on one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays.

When the esteemed general Othello elopes with Desdemona, defying societal expectations, his most trusted officer, Iago, begins a ruthless campaign of manipulation and deceit. As Iago’s poisonous whispers sow doubt and suspicion, Othello is drawn into a spiral of paranoia that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

Love twists into obsession, friendship into treachery, and trust into a deadly weapon in this gripping psychological thriller.
