Story

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.

Brilliant Lead Performances in an Overall Stellar Show!
"Seeing two A-listers on stage at the same time is breathtaking. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a masterful performance as Iago, as if he was born to play this role and has been doing it for months rather than in week 2 of previews. Denzel is a legend and his Othello is like no other. The production is further elevated by the rest of the outstanding cast. We were seated in the back row and felt right at the heart of the action, as there is not a bad seat in the intimate setting of the Barrymore Theatre. This show is worth every penny!"

Interesting & Intriguing
"I enjoyed the arrangement of the scenes, the costumes and the actor’s performances and although I was in the rear balcony, the view from my seat wasn’t obstructed in any way."

Outstanding Performance and Unusual Interpretation
"The actors’ performance and the ever changing sets were outstanding. Denzel Washington gives a performance of a lifetime as did Jake Gyllenhaal. All of the actors were excellent and a delight to watch. Fast paced and exciting."

Excellent beyond reproach
"The language and the sophistication of the presentation with quick delivery amongst the conversations and dialogues just amazing! Well put together and refined for today’s time but relishing the originality from origins from whence it came from. "

"I know, Iago"
"I liked the production's deft portrayal of the chilling psychopathy that governs Iago and the cultural imperatives he deftly manipulates. The production resonates as it bears witness to the dark tetrad. Emilia and Desdemona bravely, albeit tragically, show the power of truth telling and human virtue. The brilliant cast and stunning production make the play accessible and timely. "

The ENTIRE Cast was AMAZING!!!!!
"We loved the acting from EVERYONE! The stage production/set design was PERFECT, it wasn’t distracting, served its purpose as background/setting the scene. It was amazing to be in the same room with Sir Denzel Washington his brilliance, his skill and timing, it was a gift to see, but make no mistake this is an ensemble cast, they move as one, building beautifully on each other, Jake Gyllenhaal was great, Molly Osborne & Kimber Sprawl their stage presence was breathtaking, Kimber’s delivery of her final monologue left us in awe! Give her, the Tony now. "

Came all the way from Texas for Denzel BUT
"Was pleasantly surprised by the amazing performances from his supporting cast members. I mean Denzel is going to Denzel no matter the medium but his fellow cast members met him where he was and delivered at such a high standard of excellence in each and every scene. Buy the ticket... just buy the ticket. Othello is one of those experiences you will thank you for. "
