Outdoor theatre: Othello at Erddig

About this event

A powerful story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well – this stunning and heartbreakingly poignant play with an all male cast, Elizabethan costumes, music and dance, is one you won’t want to miss. 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. Gates open at 6pm. Bring a chair or a picnic blanket and prepare to be transported. A selection of food and drink will be available to purchase on the evening, or picnics welcome.
