Passionately performed by a cast of Iranian theater artists in a choreography by Atefeh Tehrani, Shakespeares ‘Othello’ is presented in a way rarely seen. While remaining faithful to the original story with its elements of love, envy and conspiracy, the intensely physical and dramatic interpretations are considered daring and controversial in Iran.
For this piece, Tehrani won the International Association of Theater Critics Best Director Award for the play at 28th Fajr International Theater Festival in early 2010.
Othello has previously been performed in Teheran, Krakow, and Hamburg.

“A wonderfully ingenious and moving re-enactment of Shakespeare’s classic.” – International Association of Theater Critics
