Avery Schreiber Playhouse (North Hollywood, CA)
Set in a post-apocalyptic war society, this daring adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Othello features radical cuts and mildly modernized language to tell the story of the noble Moor. Ghost Players Theatre’s version maintains the wonderfully poetic rhythm, blatant thuggery and deceitful deeds of the original as Othello’s life and marriage topple at the hands of his trusted advisor. One of the most compelling villains ever written, Iago draws Othello and the audience into his spider’s web of half-truths. Horrified and enthralled, you can’t help but be fascinated by him, even as he transforms love into hate and happiness into misery.
