AFTER OTHELLO:

AFTER OTHELLO, is an original, dark comedy featuring the often-forgotten role of THE CLOWN from Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice.  

AFTER OTHELLO follows the role of the currently unemployed and somewhat bitter CLOWN, as he takes us on a comical, absurd, and sometimes searing search to uncover the truth behind the motives and the murders in this brutal and controversial tragedy, while questioning our notions of honesty, jealousy, evil, and complicity.
