Overview
The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice is based on the Italian short story, Un Capitano Moro by Cinthio, and follows the Moorish general Othello, as well as his wife, Desdemona, his lieutenant, Cassio, and his ensign, lago. The tale is full of deception and betrayal as lago schemes to destroy Othello’s marriage. With strong themes of racism, love, jealousy, and betrayal, Othello has remained a popular and relevant play since it was first published in 1565.
