SUMMARY:Othello - The Lord Chamberlain's Men
DESCRIPTION:Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer for Othello\, one of the most captivating and thrilling plays ever written. See it performed how William Shakespeare first saw it\, as The Lord Chamberlain’s Men – with a history stretching back to Shakespeare’s original company – present this play in the open air\, with an all-male cast and Elizabethan costumes\, music and dance. \nDate:  Sunday 28th June 2026 \nVenue: Front Lawn \nTime: 6:30pm\, doors open at 5:30pm \n“I know my price\, I am worth no worse a place.” \nOthello\, the Moor of Venice\, a respected General in the Venetian army\, promotes the young Cassio to be his Lieutenant over Iago\, a soldier in his service. In doing so he unwittingly sparks Iago’s deep-seated hatred into terrifying life and sets in motion a horrendous spiral of vengeance and destruction that sweeps away everyone before it. As Iago weaves his web and seeks his revenge he poisons Othello against Desdemona\, who he has recently and secretly married\, and turns the world upside down until Othello becomes unmoored from reality with devastating consequences. \n“Put out the light\, and then put out the light.” \nA powerful story of deception\, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well – this stunning and heartbreakingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be rapt and transported. Book early to avoid missing out! \n“The best authentic Shakespearean experience.” – Yorkshire Post \nBook Here
