THE TRAGEDY OF OTHELLO, THE MOOR OF VENICE sees friendship and romantic love pitted against the power of jealousy - which destroys everything in its path. The play examines the experience of the outsider, with OTHELLOs race isolating him from Venetian society. Tracy Chevalier's fascinating retelling transports us to 1970s Washington, D.C., where a young black boy arrives at an all-white school.
