About the Play
The bard is back for the summer’s third show, Othello, directed by David Glover. A fresh take on the classic tragedy will transport audiences to an America caught between post-Korean War hope and the looming anxieties of the Vietnam War, where glossy conformity masks deep social rifts. Against a backdrop of government secrets, racial tension, and mounting paranoia, Iago manipulates the era’s fears with chilling precision. Love, ambition, and trust unravel in a world where suspicion is currency and betrayal is never far behind.
