OTHELLO
by William Shakespeare
directed by M. Bevin O'Gara
featuring Edward M. Barker and Dan Roach
November 3 -December 5, 2008
"Reputation is an idle and most false imposition…" -Iago
Shakespeare's classic revenge tragedy comes to life in New Rep On Tour's production of Othello. Trust and friendship are put to the test as Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, is lied to by his best friend Iago about the fidelity of Desdemona, Othello's wife and the daughter of the Senator. Did she have an affair with Cassio, Iago's rival? Is Iago telling the truth? Was that her Othello saw in the window that night? The questions plague Othello, until suspicion, revenge and manipulation drive him to do the unthinkable.
On Monday, November 10, 2008, we invite New Rep patrons, donors, and theater aficionados to join us for a special performance of NEW REP ON TOUR’s production of Othello.
A $20.00 donation is suggested for this performance. All proceeds go towards NEW REP ON TOUR.
