Othello

By William Shakespeare

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a mating ground. There’s tension around the pool table, cues in hand. A world of broken glass and beatings in the car park. It’s dog eat dog. And its about to kick off…

 

Frantic Assembly, explodes onto the stage with an electrifying contemporary take on Shakespeare’s most brutal and gripping thriller-tragedy of paranoia, jealousy, sex and murder.

 

'The tragedy gains an electrifying new vigour and relevance'

The Independent on Sunday, 5 stars

 

'An essential Othello. Their fierce take on Shakespeare...is a triumph'

The Observer
