What happens when fear takes control? Set in modern-day America, this bold new production of Othello brings Shakespeare’s searing tragedy into our world of political upheaval and cultural reckoning. Through the lens of diverse immigrant experiences—Middle Eastern, African American, Asian American, Latinx, and beyond—we confront the ways fear of the unknown fuels hatred and violence. In a time of global crises, how do we navigate truth, trust, and power? We invite the audience to explore these urgent questions and bring this electrifying vision to life.
