WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Special return engagement!
Othello, directed by Arin Arbus, Theatre for a New Audience's Associate Artistic Director and 2008 Princess Grace Award Winner (The Grace Le Vine Theater Award), depicts a society where Christians and Muslims are deeply divided.

Although the backdrop is political, Othello is a domestic tragedy about the formation and destruction of a marriage.
