Othello
The RSC returns to Liverpool following last year’s acclaimed Noughts and Crosses with a company including Patrice Naiambana, who recently appeared in the RSC’s acclaimed Histories Cycle, as Othello and Natalia Tena, best known for her role as Tonks in the Harry Potter films, as Desdemona.
Othello is an African general working for the Venetian state. When he and Desdemona, a senator’s daughter, fall in love, they marry secretly knowing their union will not be approved. Their love should signal the triumph of love over prejudice. Instead it is destroyed.
Please be advised that this production contains gunshots and a brief scene of female nudity.
