It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on." Othello. Venice's most successful warrior oblivious to one soldier's ruthless obsession with his total destruction.

Impressivespiritedenviable The Stage FIVE STARS - "Beautifully raw, as passionate and heartfelt as a full-scale production. What is done most beautifully here is arguably the most important thing: a story is told, and whilst the lovers are star-crossed, were completely star-struck." WhatsPeenSeen FIVE STARS This an excellent production that put many bigger budget productions to shame. Remote Goat FOUR STARS "Once again Grassroots Shakespeare have demonstrated their ability to produce intelligent, unadorned and accessible Shakespeare." Public Reviews FOUR STARS This show is an absolute joy. Everything Theatre FOUR STARS "The result is quite brilliant.... If you've shied away from Shakespeare before in favour of more modern works, this may well be the production that wins you over." View from the Gods
