“Othello,” which has been dubbed William Shakespeare’s “most intimate” tragedy centered on racism, love, jealousy and betrayal, is at the axis of a man who fanatically desires assimilation into Desdemona’s world. Instead, he falls victim to its intolerance and his own grotesque frights.
This production at the legendary Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier is helmed by artists who do Shakespeare plays at such levels of quality that’d make the phenomenon himself proud. The play runs from March 18 to April 5, 2008.
