Epic Theatre Ensemble will present a free-of-charge limited run of Shakespeare’s Othello at the Five Angels Theater, February 11-13. Ron Russell will direct.

A swift, brutal, and darkly humorous take on Shakespeare’s classic tale about the triumph of resentment over rationality, this production is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest.

The production will feature James Wallert, Melissa Friedman, Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr., Katie Hartke, Rhett Henckel, Michael Kirby, Vern Thiessen, Yoneidy Reyes, Michael Roman, and Aime Kelly.
