William Shakespeare's Tragedy
OTHELLO The Moor of Venice
Defying theatrical tradition, this controversial reimagining depicts Othello not as a black man, but as an Arab- American, betrayed during the winter months of 2001.
Driven by jealousy, Iago, Othello's closest confidant, capitalizes on the racist paranoia of the time, enacting a plot that ultimately leads to the Muslim's alienation and suicide.
