About this show

William Shakespeare's Othello performed by the Prague Shakespeare Company. Directed by PSC Artistic Director Guy Roberts and Rosie Ward it stars Aldo Billingslea as Othello, Matthew Radford Davies as Iago, with Rosie Ward as Desdemona, Carolyn Johnson as Emilia, and Jim Johnson as Brabantio alongside emerging professionals from Prague Shakespeare Company’s 2026 Summer Shakespeare Intensive. Othello, is an astonishing epic of sweeping passions and murderous ambition – a thrilling meditation on the power of love and the destructiveness of suspicion, all triggered by one of literature’s most seductively manipulative villains.
