I Am Not What I Am - The Tragedy of Othello by W. Shakespeare

I Am Not What I Am - The Tragedy of Othello by W. Shakespeare

2024115 min5.0 / 10

A faithful staging of Shakespeare's tragedy of manipulation and jealousy, relocated to the early 2000s, that explores timeless themes of deceit, betrayal, and the destruction of love through paranoia and prejudice.

Shakespeare’s Othello is revisited exactly as it was written, brought into the present through the power of dialect alone. Iago, Othello, and Desdemona are regrettably still among us, in contemporary events told through a great classic. Set in the early 2000s, it is a timeless story where good and evil intertwine in a maelstrom of deceit, betrayal and mad jealousy.
