Othello Friday & Saturday, Exeter Northcott Theatre Venice, a western colonial power, employs the newly-married Othello, a Muslim general, to lead their army against Turkish invasion. The difficulties of assimilating into a society riven by discrimination, fear and mistrust, soon begin to take their toll on Othello: manipulated by Iago, his life quickly unravels, and he turns on all he holds dear. A timeless play. https://exeternorthcott.co.uk
Entry to this informal performance is included in the Cathedral admission charge.
