Othello
(2014-2015 Season)
March 8 – April 5, 2015 • Tornabene Theatre
Arizona Repertory Theatre

ABOUT THE SHOW

Deemed the darkest tale of the human heart ever written, this is the story of a man who loves, yet cannot trust. The play centers on Othello, the Moorish General, whose valiant exploits have saved the state and won him the love of Desdemona, who defies social convention and her father’s will to marry him. But Othello’s ensign, Iago, harbors a secret resentment and plants the seed that will destroy Othello’s love.  Featuring some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful poetry, Othello tells a timeless, tragic tale of love, deceit, jealousy and murder.

by William Shakespeare

Directed by Brent Gibbs
