John Leguizamo presents The Q Brothers’ Othello: The Remix, a new show written, directed, and composed by GQ and JQ. The production will make its New York debut at the Westside Theatre, beginning previews on October 25 and officially opening on November 17.
The show is described as follows: Othello: The Remix, which is spun out and lyrically rewritten over original beats, is an 80-minute, high-energy spin on Shakespeare’s tragic tale proving that the Bard himself was the original master of rhythm and rhyme."
The five-person cast includes GQ (Iago/Brabantio), JQ (Roderigo/Loco Vito/Bianca), Jackson Doran (Cassio/Emilia), Postell Pringle (Othello), and DJ Supernova (DJ).
Othello: The Remix was originally commissioned by The Globe Theatre for London’s "Globe to Globe" as part of the World Shakespeare Festival in May of 2012. Following that run, the production toured Edinburgh, Germany, South Korea, and Chicago, and comes to New York after making its U.S. premiere at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater in 2013.
