Review: The Stratford Festival's OTHELLO is Stirring and Powerful
by Lauren Gienow - Jun 21, 2026
The Stratford Festival’s Tom Patterson Theatre continues to demonstrate why it should be considered one of the best spaces in the world to mount Shakespeare. Director Haysam Kadri’s production of OTHELLO is stirring and powerful, with excellent performances by the entire company. Led by André Sills as Othello and Evan Buliung as Iago, this cast elevates every scene of this devastating Shakespearean tragedy. Themes of doubt, jealousy, manipulation, belonging, and betrayal, along with explorations of racism, and misogyny are explored with nuance and deliberateness. This paired with reflective and moving performances leaves audiences clinging to every word – spoken and unspoken.
