OTHELLO
by William Shakespeare
Shakespeare's Macbeth is a thrilling and frightening tragedy of a nobleman’s unyielding rise to power. This tale of bloodlust, the super-natural and mankind’s darkest inner demons is presented in a tribal setting that thrusts the characters
into an unforgiving and animalistic world.
Shakespeare's tragic story of two young lovers is brought to life in this unique production. Presented in-the-round, the audience is taken on a journey through love, faith and fate with Romeo and Juliet. Featuring an original score by Loyal Royal Orchestra.
This Shakespearean tragedy examines how the noble general, Othello, is manipulated and deceived by the envious and cunning Iago. Explore the deadly struggle and
immense beauty of this timeless tale in this highly original production.
The running time of all shows is 90 minutes without an intermission. All performances are followed by a
Q & A session with the cast and crew.
