Othello

A general goes off to war with his wife and his military cohort, but dishonesty, jealously, and betrayal are on the horizon.

Honor, might, and love--with all the world for a stage. Brilliant general Antony has given himself over to the charms of Cleopatra and the languor of Egypt, even as events around the Roman world threaten a major military showdown as well as great personal tragedy.Twelfth Night directed by J. Barrett Cooper Dates: @ 7:30 pm @ 2:00 pm Synopsis:
Love is excessive, love is crazy, love is painful, and love is confusing. And love triangles don't get any more entertaining than in this comedy where a young woman impersonating a man is caught between a duke and a lady.Venue Actors Theatre, Victor Jory Theatre Ticket Information Actors Theatre: (502) 584-1205 |
