Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal star in a new production of Shakespeare's classic.
Performances begin promptly. Strictly no late seating or readmittance. Guests who leave their seats for any reason will not be readmitted.
Tony® & Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington stars as Othello, the noble Moor of Venice and commanding warrior-general. Opposite him, Tony & Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal portrays Iago, the ambitious lieutenant and masterful manipulator.
Spurned for promotion, Iago’s relentless quest for vengeance against Othello and his wife, Desdemona (portrayed by Molly Osborne), plunges them into a shocking web of deception and betrayal.
"To see two of the world's finest theatre actors make a meal out of Othello and Iago. Too delicious to pass up!"
