Nothello at Belgrade Theatre

Isnt Othello responsible for setting up negative stereotypes about black men? Isnt Desdemona a bit shallow? And dont all the best lines go to Iago anyway?Welcome to Nothello, an absurdist, anarchic, insightful and witty new play from the Belgrade Theatre. Join us on an increasingly meta deep-dive into Shakespeares Othello, from the perspective of Othello and Desdemonas unborn twins, exploring the plays legacy and what it means to be of mixed-heritage.Maybe we can imagine a version of Othello for today, where its not a tragedy anymore but a romance. Where Othello and Desdemona can start all over again, full of love and possibility full of hope and wonder.Nothello is the final production in the Belgrade Theatres programme of work for Coventry UK City of Culture 2021, and will feature a mixed-heritage chorus of people from across the city.There will be a post-show discussion following each performance.
