Shakespeare in the Parks: Othello

Shakespeare... and drinks in the park!

Free outdoor Shakespeare comes to Durham! The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in William Shakespeare’s classic tale of jealousy, love, and prejudice. Noble Moorish general Othello, secretly married to his beloved Desdemona, chooses his friend Cassio for a promotion rather than his trusted but duplicitous ensign, Iago. Enraged, Iago weaves a complex scheme that spirals into a frenzy of suspicion, ultimately leading to tragic acts of violence and irreversible loss. This gripping 90-minute production preserves the classic language and core story of the full play, making it perfect for an afternoon of culture and entertainment for couples and busy families. Tickets are free but reservations are recommended. Reserved seating is available. Click here for more info. ------------- Co-hosted by The Glass Jug and the Durham Food Hall!
