Shakespeare's masterpiece tragedy of jealousy, manipulation, and war -- Join us to discuss Othello
About this Event

Othello is a moor in Venice, but he is also on top of the world. He's a general in the Veneitian army, and he has married the beautiful Desdemona. Unfortunately, his sneaky, treacherous ensign Iago can't stand to see him happy. Iago will poison Othello's mind with paranoia about his wife's chastity, leading to a tragic end.

Othello is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, alongside Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear. Join us to discuss this classic examination of envy and paranoia.
