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."

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 2012. Following that run, the production toured Edinburgh, Germany, South Korea, and Chicago. It comes to New York after making its U.S. premiere at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater in 2013.
