Othello

ACT Company stage their fourth full-length Shakespeare production at The Little Theatre in Dunstable (Bedfordshire). Written in 1603, 'Othello, The Moor of Venice' is considered to be one of the best classic tragedies of all time. This is an intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona’s love for Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but the envious Iago conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of racism, sexism, contested identities and the savagery lurking within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and accessible tragedy from Shakespeare’s major phase as a dramatist.
