iOthello

Shakespeare’s greatest psychological drama.

A thrilling spiral of love and deceit, Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello superbly traces the chilling repercussions of jealousy and the sense of never truly belonging.

The 2016 annual USQ student Shakespeare performance is set in a virtual world dominated by social media and shifting layered fields of e-reality highlights Othello’s eternal relevancy. iOthello will be an engagement in an unraveling charisma of intrigue that will leave you breathless at the next incoming signal.

Othello was written in the early 1600’s during an explosive period of creativity when Shakespeare penned some of his most enduring and celebrated tragic works. Othello focuses on fidelity within relationships, the nature of friendships, the power of gossip and rumour and their effect upon reputation and the pivotal theme of the notion of a societal ‘outsider’.

This intense psychological thriller is as fervently relevant to the way we view our lives today as at any time since the play’s premiere performance in 1604.
