‘inspired’ ★★★★ (The Guardian)
Captured live at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Source Entertainment is delighted to be partnering with the world-famous Shakespeare’s Globe to bring the stunning production of Othello to cinemas across the UK & Ireland from Monday 30th September.
The critically-acclaimed show was captured live in March 2024 at The Globe’s Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, giving it an intimate-yet-cinematic feel that will be a treat for lovers of Shakespeare and theatre in general. The release also features cinema-exclusive, including interviews with the cast and a behind-the-scenes look at the stunning venue.
Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks of the Met police. But can his hard- won reputation, his marriage to Desdemona, and his own subconscious survive the toxic systems that surround him? Sixteenth-century Venice becomes modern-day London’s Docklands, as Othello grapples with many of the same issues that successful Black people have faced for centuries. This is an Othello for our times.
Experience Shakespeare’s confronting look at the destructive impact of institutional racism, toxic masculinity, and a justice system locked in a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling prophecy.
Runtime: 186mins (Including 20min intermission)
Bonus content: Behind-the-scenes interviews + Globe Theatre tour (during intermission)
