Othello’s Furies

Blending the innate elements of jealousy and revenge with the incorporation of Greek furies found in the Orestia, Suitcase Shakespeare Company adapts Othello and partners it with physical theatre in Othello’s Furies. An all black cast presents a new universal race within the story: “I hope to make the struggle more universal, not just about white on black or even black on black conflict, but class on class and people on people slander, and thus the disintegration of all.” –Leslie Anne Sheppard, Suitcase Company Member and Adapter
