Othello

Set during the Ottoman-Venetian War of 1570-1573, William Shakespeare’s Othello tells the story of a Moorish general serving in the Venetian army who marries a wealthy Venetian woman. The play explores themes of passion, jealousy, and race as a malevolent ensign maneuvers behind the scenes, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. Renowned for its timeless relevance, Othello remains a widely performed and adapted work.
