Overview
Othello
by William Shakespeare
directed by Marion McClinton
Shakespeare’s great tragedy of sweeping passions and murderous jealousy is a thrilling meditation about the power of love and the destructiveness of doubt and suspicion, triggered by one of literature’s most manipulative villains: Iago. Tony and Drama Desk Award nominee and Obie Award winner Marion McClinton, best-known for his Broadway and regional productions of August Wilson’s plays, directs this devastating story of cultural diversity, race, and the complexities of ambition and trust. This marks the first production in two decades of Shakespeare’s classic on the Guthrie’s signature thrust stage.
