Arts Melbourne Presents OTHELLO THE REMIX, Feb. 18-22

Arts Melbourne presents a new take on a Shakespearean classic, in the form of OTHELLO THE REMIX. Chicago hip-hop sensation The Q Brothers take their inspiration from the original genius lyricist: Shakespeare.

Originally commissioned by Shakespeare's Globe and following an acclaimed international tour, Othello: The Remix is a fresh take on Shakespeare's tragedy, spun out and lyrically rewritten over original beats.

MC Othello gets out of the ghetto and goes straight to the top. He wins the respect of the music industry, the adulation of fans and the heart of the beautiful singer Desdemona. But he's also attracted the spite of hip-hop purist Iago, who has something more sinister planned for Othello than a rap battle.

Inventive, intelligent and street smart, Othello: The Remix turns the volume up on Shakespeare's rhymes and rhythms for a new generation to tune into.

Tickets are currently in presale now; general on-sale begins Wednesday 26 November.
