InPlay, Inc., a theatrical producing company started in 1998, has resumed production after a 4 year hiatus. Its first production will be one of its "By the Book" series, a staged reading of William Shakespeare's Othello. Othello will run August 6 through August 9, 2015 in the Penn Valley Room of Just Off Broadway Theatre. Just Off Broadway Theatre is located at 3051 Central in Penn Valley Park, Kansas City, MO.
Involving themes of deception, jealousy, vengeance and race, Othello is one of Shakespeare's most lauded tragedies. In the play, Othello, a Moorish general of Venice, promotes Cassio as his lieutenant instead of Iago. Iago is furious at the presumed slight and vows to ruin Othello. When other plots fail to diminish the reputation of the good general, Iago plants seeds of doubt in Othello's mind about the faithfulness of his wife, Desdemona, leading to unthinkable tragedy.
