Whispers of suspicion feed irrational jealousy in the Stratford Festival's 2019 production of Othello, one of Shakespeare’s greatest and best-known tragedies. Directed by Nigel Shawn Williams and produced for film by Barry Avrich, this gripping contemporary production features Michael Blake in the title role, with Laura Condlln as Emilia, Amelia Sargisson as Desdemona, Gordon S. Miller as Iago and Johnathan Sousa as Cassio.
Undeterred by the differences in their backgrounds and life experiences, Othello and Desdemona defy prejudice to be united in marriage. But deadly malice lurks where the newlyweds least expect it, as Othello’s trusted comrade and confidant, Iago, resolves to destroy their happiness at any cost. In a calculated, drawn-out mind game, Iago begins planting in Othello’s mind seeds of unjustified suspicion that will grow into a deadly obsession.
