I am not what I am.’

Othello has married Desdemona in secret. Iago has a vendetta to attend to. Before long, all three are caught in a web of lies and deceit that threatens to destroy them and everyone they love.

The Marlowe Society (“a powerhouse of theatrical expertise” - Ian McKellen) returns to Cambridge Arts Theatre after its string of recent successful productions including Much Ado About Nothing and Romeo and Juliet. Cambridge University’s leading dramatic institution, the Marlowe Society has launched the careers of some of Britain’s greatest actors including Derek Jacobi, Simon Russell Beale, Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz.

John Haidar returns to Cambridge Arts Theatre following his acclaimed production of Headlong’s Richard III to direct Shakespeare’s great tragedy of jealousy for the Marlowe Society.
