The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in this spring's free-to-the-public, outdoor performance of Shakespeare in the Parks: OTHELLO. This professional production's six-week tour of the Triangle stops in Durham, NC for one weekend only, May 10-11, 2025.
A classic tale of jealousy, power and prejudice, the play tells the story of Noble Moorish general Othello who is secretly married to his beloved Desdemona. Othello chooses Cassio for a promotion rather than his trusted but duplicitous ensign Iago. Enraged, Iago weaves a complex scheme that spirals into a frenzy of suspicion which leads to tragic violence and irreversible loss.
A perfect afternoon of culture and entertainment–this gripping 90-minute production preserves the classic language and core story of the full play.
Production is rated PG for adult themes and violence.
Free general admission.
VIP seating options available.
Online reservations recommended.
Thank you in advance for supporting free professional theatre performances in the Triangle.
