This modern and minimalist production of Othello presents Shakespeare's classic tragedy with a fresh perspective, focusing on the deep psychological turmoil of the characters. Set in 2025, the play explores themes of jealousy, love, and the darker sides of human nature, while addressing contemporary issues like racism and misogyny. Directed by Dr. Jacqueline Roussety, the cast features Chuck Johnson as Othello, Jim O'Connor as Iago, and Paula Berwanger as Desdemona, with performances in English accompanied by Japanese subtitles.
