OTHELLO
January 2011
January 2011
Unbridled jealousy, greed, unquestioning trust - ingredients for murder and suicide. Sounds all too familiar?
Shakespeare's OTHELLO, with all it's mix of potent human frailties mirroring our times comes to life on our theatre boards this January 2011 from 21st till 27th at the Oditorium Bandaraya, Jln Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur. The timelessness and relevance of Shakespeare is never more evident in these trying times.
Danish director Tage Larsen from the renown Odin Teatret will be in Kuala Lumpur from 3rd Dec 2010 till 27th January 2011 to direct our actors. Lim Kien Lee (Iago), Gani Karim (Othello), Dawn Cheong (Emilia), Lim Soon Heng (Brabantio/Gratiano), Az’farr Baginda (Roderigo), Alfred Loh (The Duke/Lodovico) and a host of other characters.
Expect Shakespeare out of the ordinary as Mr. Larsen takes the actors and the audience on a journey where jealousy and greed with their twists and turns sweep up the characters into a turbulence beyond their control.
