When Othello, the Moor of Venice, is appointed General of the Venetian Army, he passes over Iago for a promotion. Fuelled by malice, Iago plots the Moor’s downfall, poisoning Othello’s faith and trust in everyone around him, especially his beautiful wife, Desdemona. Shakespeare’s intense and thrilling tragedy examines love, jealousy, and racial politics with one of the greatest villains at its epicentre.
