Get ready to see Othello as youve never seen HER beforethats right, HER! This contemporary adaptation finds Shakespeares characters transported to modern day while retaining the eloquence and vitality of the bards original text.Othello is a successful Black woman who has everything: power, respect, and the love of her fair Desdemona not to mention the contempt of the cunning, back stabbing, ladder-climbing, lago. Threatened by, and resentful of the power couples happiness, lago preys on Othellos insecuritiesusing insidious race, class, gender and sexual warfare to poison Othellos mind and convince her that Desdemonas devotion is fleeting and false.This powerful tale of prejudice, inequity, discrimination, and jealousy is full of wit and action, and a few surprises as well. So, come see the show youve known for all these years in a whole new light
