Othello's Nightmare

Synetic Theater / June 3 - July 3, 2010 / at The John F. Kennedy Center / Washington DC / USA. Once again infusing one of Shakespeare's most poignant tragedies with their "art of silence," Synetic Theater now explores this tale of love destroyed by jealousy. When the general Othello triumphantly returns home to the promise of peace and marriage, little can he know that his most trusted lieutenant is also one of the most fiendish and manipulative villains imaginable. Scandal is fueled, families and friendships destroyed, as Othello's world comes crashing down, until a "trifle light as air" - a handkerchief - undoes them all.
