In this Shakespearean tragedy, Othello is at the peak of his powers: not only Venice's greatest general but also husband to the noble and beautiful Desdemona. But he does not know that in passing over his servant Iago for promotion, he has created a deadly-but brilliant- enemy.

This production will get a modern twist: this production will be set in an alternate history version of the 1990s in which the Venetian empire is the predominant political, military, and economic power.
