Outdoor Theatre: Othello by The Lord Chamberlain's Men

Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer for Othello. One of the most captivating and powerful plays ever written and one of Shakespeare’s greatest works.

  • Booking essential

Othello - a stunning story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well.

“O beware, my lord, of jealousy. It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock. The meat it feeds on.”

With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare’s original company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men present this play as he first encountered it – in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance. This stunning and devastatingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be rapt and transported. Book early to avoid missing out!

You are welcome to bring your own picnic blankets, picnics and chairs. Chairs will not be provided. Please note, this performance will take place regardless of wet weather. No dogs are permitted at this performance.
