Inspired by the toughness of the prairie, Director Molly Smith sets her production in the robust world of territory filled with a dynamic cast as rich and complex as great tapestry of America itself.

Written at the height of Shakespeare’s creativity, Othello explores the tragedy of a love destroyed by jealousy. Provoked by the treacherous Iago’s lies, Othello begins to mistrust his loyal bride, Desdemona. As his suspicions rise, Othello collapses under the weight of his self-doubt, eventually destroying his once-happy marriage. With poetry rivaling King Lear and with the psychological depth of Hamlet, Shakespeare constructs a highly charged tale of prejudice, revenge and the destruction of innocence.

When Roman General Titus returns from his victorious campaign against the Goths, he sacrifices one of the Goth princes in retaliation, setting in motion a horrific cycle.

Produced by the Shakespeare Theatre Company for the 2007 Shakespeare in Washington Festival and recorded by WAPAVA.
