Othello is the first production
to kick off The Complete Works
Project, a collaboration of
Portland’s cultural institutions
to produce all of Shakespeare’s
works in a two year period.
In Othello, a highly esteemed
general serving the state of
Venice secretly m arries
Desdemona, the daughter of a
senator. As their marriage is
revealed, jealousies around their
love match and Othello’s rise to
prom inence are unleashed,
marking destructive rifts in a
tale that piles secret upon se
cret, and betrayal upon betrayal.
“Othello’s journey is a sym
phony of all the nuances of
torture that jealousy invokes,”
says director Chris
Coleman. “The plot is so fo
cused, like a heat-seeking mis
sile racing towards its target.
The language is clean and di
rect, like a screenplay.” Set in
Venice and Cyprus in the early
1600s, this classically staged
production features stunning
period costumes and a two-
story, castle-like set that will
revolve on stage as the plot
twists in this tragic love story.
Regular tickets start at $38.
Tickets can be purchased at
pcs.org or by calling 503-445-
3700.
