Finn Wittrock & More to Join Othello, Starring Daniel Craig & David Oyelowo, Off-Broadway

Before appearing in The Glass Menagerie on Broadway next spring, American Horror Story’s Finn Wittrock will join the Daniel Craig and David Oyelowo-led Othello off-Broadway. Directed by Sam Gold, the previously reported production is set to play a limited engagement November 22 through January 18, 2017. Opening night is scheduled for December 12 at New York Theatre Workshop.

The company will also include David Wilson Barnes (Bridge of Spies), Marsha Stephanie Blake (Orange is the New Black), Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards), Blake DeLong (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812), Glenn Fitzgerald (Dirty Sexy Money), Slate Holmgren (King Lear), Anthony Michael Lopez (The Penalty), Matthew Maher (The Flick), Nikki Massoud (Zealot) and Kyle Vincent Terry (Robin Hood).

Shakespeare’s Othello tackles the universal and timeless themes of jealousy, betrayal, racism and the lure of power. The classic was most notably fairly recently seen off-Broadway in 2009 with John Ortiz in the title role and the late screen and stage legend Philip Seymour Hoffman as Iago, directed by Peter Sellars.

The production will feature scenic design by Andrew Lieberman, costume design by David Zinn, lighting design by Jane Cox, sound design by Bray Poor and fight direction by Thomas Schall.
