Keswick Alhambra is proud to present a new production of OTHELLO performed at the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. 

Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks of the Met police. But can his hard- won reputation, his marriage to Desdemona, and his own subconscious survive the toxic systems that surround him? 

Sixteenth-century Venice becomes the modern-day London Docklands, as Othello grapples with many of the same issues that successful Black people have faced for centuries. 

This is an Othello for our times. Experience Shakespeare’s confronting look at the destructive impact of institutional racism, toxic masculinity, and a justice system locked in a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling prophecy. 

Director Ola Ince debuts in the intimate, candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse with this ‘inspired’ (The Guardian), and ‘profound’ (Evening Standard) and ‘masterfully redefined’ (West End Best Friend) take on Shakespeare’s blistering tragedy.
