This critically acclaimed production was captured live in March 2024 at The Globe’s Sam Wannamaker Playhouse, giving it an intimate-yet-cinematic feel that will be a treat for lovers of Shakespeare and theatre in general.
Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks of the Met police. But can his hard-won reputation, his marriage to Desdemona, and his own subconscious survive the toxic systems that surround him? Sixteenth-century Venice becomes modern-day London’s Docklands, as Othello grapples with many of the same issues that successful Black people have faced for centuries. This is an Othello for our times. Experience Shakespeare’s confronting look at the destructive impact of institutional racism, toxic masculinity, and a justice system locked in a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling prophecy.
The running time of 186 minutes includes a 20-minute interval. The release also features cinema-exclusive interviews with the cast and a behind-the-scenes look at the stunning venue.
