Due to overwhelming public demand, Othello is adding one final performance on October 19, 8pm. Come and experience this powerful modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic tale of love and jealousy.
Othello tells the story of a Moorish general who is manipulated by his envious ensign, Iago, into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful, leading to tragic consequences.

Director of Othello and Artistic Director of C.A.S.T, Nelsito Gomez, adds “I speak for the cast and prod when I say we’ve been so moved by the feedback and reception for Othello. All the positive responses to Shakespeare have been incredible so we’re adding performances to give people more opportunity to take part in the show.”
The play features Tarek El Tayech as Othello, Gab Pangilinan as Desdemona, Maronne Cruz as Emilia, and Reb Atadero as Iago. Rounding out the cast are Davy Narciso as Cassio, Rafael Jimenez as Rodrigo, Dippy Arceo as Bianca, and MC Dela Cruz as the Duke of Venice/Lodovico.
Completing the creative team are D Cortezano for lighting design, Myke Salomon for sound design, Sarah Facuri for production design, and Missy Maramara for Intimacy Direction.
Nelsito shares, “Our goal is to expose the blood and guts of this play written in 1604. Shakespeare was a contemporary man and wrote for his modern audiences. And the reason why his plays have never gone out of fashion is because his themes are so human and universal, they speak to any time period and to any society. So it would be a disservice on my part not to attack this play from a modern perspective.”
All performances are held at The Mirror Studios, 5th floor, SJG building, 8463 Kalayaan Ave, Makati, 1209 Metro Manila.
This hyper intimate staging allows for an audience of only one hundred (100) a show. This is a free seating, first come first served event. PHP 1000 PER SEAT.
