Shakespeare Festival St. Louis Education Tour

Touring through end of April

Shakespeare’s thrilling classic about an outsider who misplaces his trust with cataclysmic results. This elegant 50 minute telling provides the action and emotion that has made Othello one of the most popular tragedies for any age. You’ll meet the hateful and jealous Iago, one of Shakespeare’s greatest villains; the powerful and mislead Othello; the truthful, innocent Desdemona: all are woven together in a plot of lies and treachery that show us how appearances can deceive. Shakespeare tangles with racism, love and betrayal, showing us that what we think we know about ourselves and believe about others doesn’t always hold true. Most appreciated by grades 4 - 12.
