Othello

By William Shakespeare, adapted by Patrick J. O’Reilly

Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, probably in 1603.

Iago is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against his General; Othello, the Moor of Venice. Iago manipulates Othello into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful, stirring Othello's jealousy. Othello allows jealousy to consume him, murders Desdemona in a fit of blind rage, and then kills himself.

This absorbing revival soundly delivers a new Othello for our times, raising the play’s profile to long-overdue recognition and clocking up Bruiser’s most effective production in a long time. Irish Theatre Magazine
