Outside the gilded bubble of Venice, in a liminal no-man’s-land halfway between peace and war, a storm is coming. Shakespeare’s unsettling psychological drama plunges us into a nightmare landscape where everything precious is poisoned and trust is a deadly misstep. Shore up your weak spots—if you know where they are. It’s already too late to turn back.

The Othello cast includes J.B. Alexander, Ethan Baker, Charlotte Blacklock, Gabe Girson, Clayton Hamburg, Maya Koshaba, Ryan Molloy, Patrick Robinson, Leah Schwartz, and William Oliver Watkins as Othello.

The creative team includes Nicholas Grevera (lighting design), Everi Osofsky (costume design), and Paul Schack (fight choreography). Produced by Alexander Nero, Atlas’s co-founder and Executive Director.

Othello runs June 16 - June 28, Tuesday - Saturday at 6:30pm, Saturday - Sunday at 1pm, at the Underground Theater at Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand Street at Pitt Street, NYC, NY 10002. There will be no performance on June 19. Running time: 3 hours (plus intermission). Tickets are $21.80 (children), $28.04 (students/seniors), and $34.28 (general) and are available at www.abronsartscenter.org/programs/atlas-othello .

Directed by Eric Tucker, Bedlam‘s new production of Othello is now playing at the West End Theatre off-Broadway. The production features just four actors inhabiting the 19 roles of Othello. Read the reviews here!

Othello is arguably Shakespeare’s most controversial show, often called a “problem show,” given its deep explorations into race and misogyny. Putting on a production of Othello is no small feat, but under the direction of Associate Artistic Director Candice Handy, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, and the entire cast and crew did a fantastic job exploring the intricacies of this infamous show and crafting a production that felt uniquely their own.
