One can say that with Othello, Shakespeare is among the most modern and forward-thinking of any classical playwright. By introducing to early 17th-century England a black character as complex as Othello, it is also one of his most extraordinary imaginative achievements. Director Wilson Milam helms this production with a steady and creative hand, preserving the intrigue and heartbreak that makes Othello one of history’s greatest plays.
