Iago convinces Othello that his wife has been unfaithful with the up-and-coming young soldier Michael Cassio.Īs Iago draws Othello and the audience into a web of half-truths, secrets, and betrayal, scandal is fueled - families and friendships destroyed - until a piece of supposed evidence of Desdemona’s infidelity, a handkerchief (which Iago calls 'trifle light as air') tragically undoes them all. Despite Othello’s confidence in Iago’s honesty, Iago reveals that he is in fact hateful of Othello, and sets out to destroy Othello and Desdemona’s happiness, manipulating Othello to serve his own ends. Iago, a junior officer and Othello’s most trusted adviser, is tormented by his lack of promotion. Despite her father’s objections in court, Desdemona remains committed to Othello and follows him from Venice to Cyprus, where he is commissioned to serve. It is a story about society, status and the nature of the outsider – but it is also a story about the love and trust between friends, and between men and women.ĭefying her father and society to follow her heart, Desdemona secretly marries Othello – a powerful general, and a Moor.

One teacher free per 10 students $30 for each additional teacher.įind out how our school bookings process works. Whether you are an educator or member of the general public, book your tickets to see Othello at the Seymour Centre. Venice, a city resting precariously on its own watery grave, and Cyprus, a frontier surrounded by enemies and a hostile ocean, are the battlefields upon which family, love, community, trust, ambition and jealousy are put under the severest trial. Oceanic mystery is the poet's chief imaginative device and source of metaphor in this study of marriage, love, sex, persuasion and the illusion of loyalty. Othello is saturated with references to water. This innovative production combines Sport for Jove's trademark textual clarity and storytelling with a powerful cast and design, transporting audiences to a remote military base in an occupied country where a trusted soldier will work away at the certainty of his commander like an irresistible tide. This is a rare chance for students across NSW to see this dark and brooding masterpiece in 2022. Othello is easily Shakespeare's most relentless and tightly compressed drama.

'O beware, my lord, of jealousy It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.'

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Friday 17 June 7pm performance of Othello has been cancelled.
