An electrifying and fresh production of Othello will grace the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe in January 2024.
William Shakespeare's classic play comes to life on stage under the fresh direction of Ola Ince. After the highly-praised 2021 rendition of Romeo & Juliet, Ola's celebrated direction makes its debut at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse with Shakespeare's thought-provoking exploration of the devastating consequences of racism.
Othello, the General. Othello, the hero. Othello, the husband. Othello, the Black man. Lauded by all, Othello has built a thriving career for himself. However, when one man's unbridled envy and cunning manipulation ignite a destructive blaze, it not only tarnishes Othello's standing but also shatters his mental stability. Othello, the victim. Othello, the adversary. Othello, the killer.
Catch Othello at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in January 2024 and watch the classic Shakespearean play in a new light. Make sure to book your tickets in advance!
