"So will I turn her virtue into pitch and out of her own goodness make the net that shall enmesh them all." — Act 2, Scene 3
In a country at war, Othello the Moor—played by Emmy Award-winning actor Peter Macon—commands with nobility of spirit, drawing strength from his bold and beautiful wife, Desdemona. But he has placed his trust in one of Shakespeare’s most sinister villains, Iago (CSF favorite Geoffrey Kent) who would sow seeds of doubt and destruction in the garden of their love. Passion, jealousy and murder explode in a sexy theatrical thriller that tumbles toward a diabolical finale in CSF’s first outdoor production of this great tragedy since 1996.
Directed by Lisa Wolpe, founder and producing artistic director, Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Co.
