Othello

He is the Moor of Venice: a celebrated general, a foreigner, a man of dignity and power who has won the heart of the gentle Desdemona. Their marriage defies her father, scandalizes society, and promises a future of perfect love. But in the shadows lurks Iago. Passed over for promotion and burning with a hatred he cannot fully explain, he sets in motion a plot of breathtaking cruelty. With every "honest" word, he tightens the noose. With every piece of "proof," he darkens Othello's mind. Watch as black and white blur into grey, as love twists into murderous obsession, and as innocence is sacrificed on the altar of jealousy. From the domestic tragedy of a handkerchief to the final, shattering image of a bedchamber, Othello moves with the speed of a nightmare. One of Shakespeare's most intense and heart-breaking tragedies, Othello is a devastating exploration of trust, betrayal, and the poison of unfounded jealousy. It is the story of a love so pure it is destroyed by a hatred so pure it knows no bounds.
