Description | Disinformation, deceit and blunt ambition: Washington politics as usual? Talk show pundits? No, it’s Shakespeare’s classic tale of power, lust and jealousy. Rogue Machine artistic director John Perrin Flynn directs A Martinez (Longmire) in the title role and Jack Stehlin (Weeds) as Iago, one of the greatest villains of all time, in a bold new production from Odyssey Theatre Ensemble and The New American Theatre. Tragic events are set in motion when Othello, commander of the Venetian army, makes the handsome and charismatic Cassio his lieutenant, bypassing his ensign Iago for promotion. Consumed by envy, his resentment fueled by his knowledge that Cassio has never seen battle, Iago plots his revenge. In this riveting psychological drama, we see how social order, racial politics and the stress of a soldier’s life combine to push Iago over the edge, as he coldly calculates the destruction of Othello and Othello’s young wife Desdemona.
