‘Othello’ comes to the stage
Think Theatre’s schools production of ‘Othello’ opens at the Playhouse Drama Theatre.
THINK Theatre’s acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s 'Othello' returns to the Playhouse Drama stage for its seventh revival from 16 February to 20 March.
A vital learning aid facility for secondary school learners studying Shakespeare’s stage tragedy as a set work, the production is widely appreciated by school teachers, learners and their parents. As ever before, the great work continues to hold today’s audiences in its grip as its core themes of love, envy, corruption and betrayal remain powerfully relevant to the human condition.
'Othello' is directed by Clare Mortimer. Nhlakanipho Manqele plays Othello, Cara Roberts appears as his doomed young wife, Desdemona, and Clinton Small as the evil Iago. Casting also includes Mortimer, Michael Gritten, Marc Kay, Bryan Hiles, Rowan Bartlett, Darren King and Caitlin Kilburn.
Schools performances of Othello are at 9am and noon daily, Monday to Friday. Booking is through Doreen Stanley on 033 343 4884 or 084 556 0668, or email doreen@thinktheatre.co.za.
