The triumphant general Othello returns from battle with the gratitude of the state – and the love of Desdemona – who defies social convention and her father’s will to marry him. Jealousies around their match and Othello’s rise to prominence simmer to the surface, causing destructive rifts in a story that piles secret upon secret, and betrayal upon betrayal.
The production features cast members including Ray Chong Nee (The Dream, Melbourne Theatre Company’s I Call My Brothers) as Othello and Yalin Ozucelik (Henry IV, Sydney Theatre Company’s Cyrano de Bergerac) as Iago.
