Early Bird  Discount  September 13 - 23

Following cheers and standing ovations at the 2023 World Premiere in Szeged, HUNGARY, 

and equal enthusiasm at the 10th Annual ITAKA Shakespeare Festival in Novi Sad, SERBIA, 

AFTER OTHELLO is finally receiving its U.S. Premiere in October 2024 in New York, NY.

***

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.  

AFTER OTHELLO follows the role of the currently unemployed and somewhat bitter CLOWN, as he takes us on a comical, absurd, and sometimes searing search to uncover the truth behind the motives and the murders in this brutal and controversial tragedy, while questioning our notions of honesty, jealousy, evil, and complicity.
