Tony winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson ("Jitney," "The Piano Lesson") returns to Shakespeare in the Park to direct a sumptuous new production of "Othello." Set amid war and palace intrigue in the 17th-century Mediterranean, this classic drama about a noble Black Venetian general whose marriage is sabotaged by theater’s most infamous villain, Iago, remains Shakespeare’s most urgent and relevant tragedy today. A lush, romantic vision gives way to the violent tangle of love and jealousy, race and revenge in this must-see production of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
