"Outstanding!"
-- The Star-Ledger
"This production
comes exactly 60 years after my first experience seeing Othello
on stage -- on Broadway with Paul Robeson, Jose Ferrer and
a very young Uta Hagen. I thought I would never see a staging
so definitive as that one. Perhaps I was a bit hasty."
-- The Princeton Packet
One of the great tragic masterpieces from Shakespeare’s
canon, this definitive study of the power of jealousy, insidious
evil and innocent purity delivers a triangle of unforgettable
characters — the tormented Moor, Othello; the consummate
villain, Iago; and the guileless victim, Desdemona. This passionate,
gripping drama remains one of the world’s most timeless
and universal tales of love and betrayal. The Shakespeare
Theatre of New Jersey welcomes back one of our most gifted
Shakespearean directors, returning after a two-year stint
with the Stratford Festival in Canada.
Funding for OTHELLO is provided by a grant from American
Express Company.
