Othello, a Moor, falls in love with Desdemona but is broken by jealousy falsely encouraged. Shakespeare‘s most human play sets delicacy and power, trust and jealousy, love and hate, good and evil in stark and tragic opposition. Powerless in the face of their own self destructive instincts, the characters are caught on a downward spiral towards inevitable tragedy.
A bold new ada[ptation. A respected military man, Othello is deployed to lead his unit against an impending invasion. But when Cassio is promoted over Iago a jealous plot is set in motion which will change everything for Othello and his new wife, Desdemona.
