Claremont Live: Othello

Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer for Othello, one of the most captivating plays ever written. They present this thrilling play as Shakespere first saw it – in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.

“I know my price, I am worth no worse a place.”

Othello, the Moor of Venice, a respected General in the Venetian army, promotes the young Cassio to be his Lieutenant over Iago, a soldier in his service. In doing so he unwittingly sparks Iago’s deep-seated hatred into terrifying life and sets in motion a horrendous spiral of vengeance and destruction that sweeps away everyone before it. As Iago weaves his web and seeks his revenge, he poisons Othello against Desdemona, who he has recently and secretly married, and turns the world upside down until Othello becomes unmoored from reality with devastating consequences.

“Put out the light, and then put out the light.”

A powerful story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well – this stunning and heartbreakingly 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!
