About Othello or Who's Afraid of William Shakespeare?

A Collage of Various Shakespearean Texts

by Ahmed El Attar & Nevine El Ibiary
September 13-18, 2006
Falaki Mainstage Theatre

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

The greatness of Shakespeare's plays lies in our ability to reinterpret them over nad over again in a multitude of forms, always with the feeling that we are dealing with a new text. In this production, we focused on some of the major concepts surrounding Othello's archetype with particular attention paid to the relationship between a couple within a contemporary context.
