Shakespeare's Globe Presents Othello (12A)

Director Ola Ince updates Shakespeare's incendiary tragedy from 16th-century Venice to modern-day London to explore the impact of institutional racism and toxic masculinity. Othello was recorded live on the stage of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London on the banks of the River Thames. Detective Chief Inspector Othello is a powerful figure in the predominantly white police force of New Scotland Yard. He promotes Eton boy Cassio above trusted DS Iago with dire consequences.
