Season of Betrayal Continues with Othello

Our 5th season, the Season of Betrayal, continues this weekend with that classic tale of jealousy and revenge, Othello.

Othello (Sarah Palmero), a Moorish general of the Venetian army, has just married the lovely Desdemona (Gillian Rains), but the conniving and envious soldier, Iago (Dale Lisa Flint), is bitter at Othello for having been passed over for advancement. What follows is one of Shakespeare’s most famous stories of deceit, revenge, and the tragic events that occur when the truth is manipulated for selfish means.
