OTHELLO

EXTENDED—MAY 19–JUN 28, 2026
Harman Hall

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Simon Godwin

Trust no one.

Simon Godwin directs Wendell Pierce (The Wire, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Elsbeth) in Shakespeare’s towering tragedy about the power of words to kill. Venice is scandalized when its protector, Othello (Pierce), elopes with a nobleman’s daughter, while his most trusted lieutenant, Iago (Ben Turner, Macbeth), seethes after being passed over for a promotion. Vengeful Iago speaks a word and contorts the world: transforming Othello’s faithful wife into an adulteress and upright men into beasts.

Runtime: Approximately 3 hours, with a 15-minute intermission.
