"This is a good, sturdy production that proves easy to understand and follow and would serve as a particularly good introduction to Shakespeare, especially to students and others who have been turned off to Shakespeare by encounters with lackluster or unintelligible productions. ...This venture into more serious Shakespeare has been quite a leap, but it reflects the relentless ambitions of this company that is willing to push it boundaries and test its mettle."     -- Andrew Beck, Hartford Arts Examiner

"Not your daddy's Shakespeare" "accessible, well-paced, thoughtful" --Jacques Lamarre, BroadwayWorld.com

.."reinforce" (Shakespeare's) "relevance and insight into who we are, what we do, and why we do it, this may be a version to add to your experience." --K.J. Rogowski, In the Spotlight

"Director Sasha Brätt moves the action swiftly to its bloody conclusion, a world of war where innocents are punished as quickly as the guilty.  This is a masterful cast at work." -- Bonnie Goldberg, CT Critics Circle

"Coiner's Iago takes over the play while scaring us with the efficiency of his plot and entertaining us with the deviltry of his wit." -- Gil Gigliotti, CT Wit

About

In this fast-paced, two hour, brutal and honest telling of OTHELLO, we will enter a world of war that we know all too well, and see the power that love, jealousy, passion and pride have over our lives...and how no one is safe from the consequences of these passions!

"And what's he then that says I play the villain?" Whose actions are not justified? Who is innocent? Who can say that they do not play the villain?
