Oregonian raves about Mouawad's last three Operas Beyond Words
"Experimental hot streak!"
"Strange and fascinating"
"Oddly charming as it is adventurous"

In his wordless mobius strip of a play Stage Left Lost Jerry Mouawad transforms Shakespeare's tragedy of Othello by presenting the story on and off the stage. When the actress performing Desdemona strangely dies at the hands of her overly aggressive co-lead the motive remains unclear. The mystery of the actress's death is revealed not on stage but off as the audience sits stage left and witnesses the behind-the-scene acts of the actors.

Due to the special nature of the production, seating is limited to 25 (yes, you are seated backstage.)

With Stage Left Lost Mouawad turns theatre on itself as the production follows two paths that converge. A company of actors present short plays on Othellian themes while offstage the mystery of actress's death is revealed. A cast of 12 move to Mouawad's choreography to serve up this visual brain twister.
