Othello and Barbara Gaines
Join fellow Harvard Club of Chicago alumni in the Chicago Shakespeare Theater Dress Circle Lobby pre-show for an intimate discussion with Chicago Shakespeare Theater founder and Artistic Director, Barbara Gaines on Wednesday, March 9, 6:00 p.m., followed by a performance of Shakespeare's great tragedy Othello.
Fresh from Shakespeare’s Globe and Royal Shakespeare Company, renowned British director Jonathan Munby returns to Chicago to stage Shakespeare’s most intimate tragedy. In a black and white world, Othello and Desdemona fall in love, but the distinguished commander knows no maneuvers for the affairs of the heart. A stranger in a strange land, he falls under Iago’s spell, mistaking a lethal enemy for his closest ally. Here, Shakespeare excavates the most elemental of human emotions: the all-consuming passion of love and jealousy. James Vincent Meredith is featured in the title role.
