About the Play
This contemporary adaptation finds Shakespeare’s characters transported to modern day while retaining the eloquence and vitality of the bard’s original text. Othello is a successful Black woman who has everything: power, respect, and the love of her fair Desdemona—not to mention the contempt of the cunning, backstabbing, ladder-climbing, lago. Threatened by, and resentful of the power couple’s happiness, logo preys on Othello’s insecurities—using insidious race, class, gender and sexual warfare to poison Othello’s mind and convince her that Desdemona’s devotion is fleeting and false. This powerful tale of prejudice, inequity, discrimination, and jealousy is full of wit and action, and a few surprises as well.
