ACTC's Othello May 27 at 7:30

An intense military thriller focusing on racism, power, and unbridled jealousy. Othello, a brilliant and respected Moorish general in the Venetian army, has it all: a thriving career and a passionate new marriage to Desdemona, a noble Venetian lady. But his happiness is threatened by his "trusted" subordinate, Iago. Passed over for a promotion, the envious Iago hatches a diabolical, intimate plot to take down the General. Exploiting Othello’s deep love and insecurity, Iago weaves a web of lies, fabricating a scandalous affair between Desdemona and a young lieutenant, Cassio. Set against a modern backdrop of war and intrigue, this high-stakes thriller explores how easily trust can be corrupted by jealousy, leading to a shocking and irreversible climax. A raw, emotional drama about how appearances can deceive, and how the closest relationships can turn deadly.
