Passion, deceit, and maniplulation lie at the heart of Othello, a chilling tale of misplaced jealousy and wasted love. Brilliant plot twists and a whirlwind of emotions will keep you on the edge of your seat as you follow the exploits of some of Shakespeare's most unforgetable characters: Othello, the heroic but flawed general "who loved not wisely but too well"; his beautiful, trusting wife, Desdemona; and especially the vindictive and evil Iago, whose intrigue brings heartbreak and tragedy to everyone around him.
