A noble hero’s love and a devout wife’s purity of heart are no match for a trusted friend’s obsessive jealousy.  When the treacherous Iago causes Othello to question his wife’s fidelity, suspicion and innuendo escalate to desperate rage and, ultimately, tragedy.  This complex masterpiece reveals a sensual world in which social order, racial politics, and personal ambitions collide.  Guthrie Theater and Joe Dowling, its artistic director, are among the world’s foremost interpreters of Shakespeare.
