Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks of the Met police. But can his hard-won reputation. his marriage to Desdemona, and his own subconcious survive the toxic systems that surround him?
Sixteenth-century Venice becomes modern-day London's Docklands, as Othello grapples with many of the same issues that successful Black people have faced for centuries.
This is an Othello for our times.
Experience Shakespeare's confronting look at the destructive impact of institutional racism, toxic masculinity, and a justice system locked in a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling prophecy.
