Oberon Theatre Ensemble Presents OTHELLO 6/3-24

Oberon Theatre Ensemble is pleased to present their production of OTHELLO by William Shakespeare, directed by Lucille Lortel Award recipient Cara Reichel. OTHELLO will play a 4-week limited engagement at the Kirk Theatre at Theatre Row (410 W 42nd St). Performances begin Thursday, June 3rd and continue through Thursday, June 24th . Opening Night is Friday, June 4th at 8 p.m.

Press are cordially invited Friday, June 4th at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 5th at 8:00 pm
(Unofficial press dates will be accommodated upon request.)

OTHELLO will be presented in conjunction with, ORDER by Christopher Stetson Boal, directed by Tony Award nominee, Austin Pendleton, as part of Oberon's Rep 2010.

The esteemed General Othello promotes Cassio instead of Iago fueling Iago's jealousy. Iago, in turn, plans his revenge in incredibly malicious ways, causing suspicion amongst lovers and friends. The results are tragic as suspicion grows, trust is lost and Othello is compelled to take action against his lovely wife whom he believes to be unfaithful.

The music of Vivaldi and the rhythm of the djembe interweave with Shakespeare's elegant language in this tragic masterpiece. As characters dance through the Bard's most intricate and compelling plot, OTHELLO illuminates the fine line between the cerebral and the animal in all of us. This is a visceral telling of Shakespeare's great tragedy of Envy, Revenge and Damaged Love.

Featuring Travis Allen, Jessica Angleskhan*, Jennifer Blood*, Lowell Byers, Matt W. Cody*, Jane Cortney*, David Matthew Douglas*, Nate Faust, Simon Feil*, Randy Howk, Whitney Kam Lee, Chris Seiler*, Daniel Morgan Shelley* and Stewart Walker*.
