"Othello" by William Shakespeare

Cape Cod Community College has announced their fall production, “Othello,” by William Shakespeare.

With a mix of student and community actors, the timeless tale of love and revenge offers a modern twist. The production, directed by Vana Trudeau, features a woman in the title role.

While the character of Othello is a Moor, “Fundamentally,” says Trudeau, “the tragedy is borne of jealousy and prejudice, not racism.”

In casting a woman as Othello, she suggests, “we explore how same-sex marriage has displaced inter-racial marriage in today’s social discourse.”

“Othello,” may be seen on the following dates in the Studio Theatre of the Tilden Arts Center:

Thursday, Nov 3 @ 7 pm
Friday, Nov 4 @ 7 pm
Saturday, Nov 5 @ 7 pm
Sunday, Nov 6 @ 2 pm

Thursday, Nov 10 @ 7 pm
Friday, Nov 11 @ 7 pm
Saturday, Nov 12 @ 7 pm
Sunday, Nov 13 @ 2 pm

Friday, Nov 18 @ 7 pm
Saturday, Nov 19 @ 7 pm
