About Othello

At the height of his power, Othello is Venice’s greatest general - respected, unstoppable, and newly married to the passionately loyal Desdemona. But in promoting another to be his trusted lieutenant, Othello has unknowingly created a deadly enemy - his overlooked, underestimated, and quietly venomous advisor, the duplicitous Iago. What follows is a furious unravelling of trust, love, and identity in a web of betrayal, manipulation and revenge.

In a world that punishes vulnerability and devours beauty, Discarded Nut Theatre Co rips into Shakespeare’s most devastating tragedy, exposing razor-sharp insights on toxic masculinity, race, and human fallibility. Visually arresting, brutally honest, and emotionally explosive, Othello is a fearless exploration of what happens when we’re driven to the edge.

Tickets: from £16
