Othello

As part of The Brick's Shakespeare in the Theatre Festival, this gender- and race-swapped production of Othello speaks directly to today’s political and social climate. This unique and powerful new lens brings newfound urgency to the classic story of jealousy, revenge and the darkest elements of humanity’s lust for power and control, while remaining true to the spirit and intention of Shakespeare’s timeless words.

It's a wonderful opportunity to showcase women, especially women of color, doing Shakespeare roles that they would otherwise not have an opportunity to do.

Funds will be used to pay for rehearsal space, to create costumes, to buy insurance, and to cover travel for actors.
