AFTER OTHELLO:
AFTER OTHELLO is an original dark-comedy featuring the often-forgotten role of The Clown from Shakespeare's play,
The Tragedy of Othello,The Moor of Venice.
*
Currently unemployed, and having seen far better days, The Clown takes us on a comical, absurd, and sometimes searing search to uncover the truth behind the motives and murders in this famous, brutal, and controversial tragedy.
*
AFTER OTHELLO questions our notions of
honesty, jealousy, complicity, evil, and othering.
