Book Club: Othello
Shakespeare Dallas has launched a new opportunity for our audiences to meet and discuss the plays being performed in our season. Ever wonder how a director prepares an abridged script of a Shakespeare play? What method of text analysis take place to determine what is cut and what makes it onto the stage? If you missed out on our previous Book Clubs, you are invited to experience that process at our Book Club for Othello!
Led by Interim Executive and Artistic Director Jenni Stewart, Book Club gatherings are comfortable, fun and promise great discussions. The Book Club will meet for four sessions to read and discuss the upcoming play, provide a behind-the-scenes look at the production process, and receive an invitation to exclusive events.
Synopsis:
Othello is a tragedy about a respected Moorish general in the Venetian army whose life unravels due to jealousy and manipulation. Deceived by his envious ensign Iago, Othello is led to believe that his wife Desdemona has been unfaithful. Consumed by doubt and rage, Othello's trust is destroyed, leading to devastating consequences for them all.
