About the Play
The bard is back for the summer’s third show, Othello, directed by David J. 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.
