Othello
Advertisement
Othello, a celebrated Black general, has risen through the ranks of both the military and society. But beneath his success lies a world of racial hatred determined to tear him down.
When his trusted friend, Iago, manipulates these prejudices and spins a web of deceit, Othello is drawn into a storm of jealousy, betrayal, and systemic oppression.
As these forces close in, his hard-earned legacy, his love for Desdemona, and his very sense of self hang in the balance. Can he withstand the insidious forces conspiring against him?
Directed by Lisa Gaye Dixon (NCTC's Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill) and featuring Jonathan Bangs (NCTC's Finding Chase) in the title role alongside NCTC Artistic Director J. Matthew Gordon as the villainous Iago, this Regency-era production—staged at the breathtaking Outdoor Forest Theater in Carmel—exposes the rigid social hierarchies of the past while drawing sharp parallels to the systemic racism that still permeates our world today.
