Bard on the Beach, Howard Family Stage in the Douglas Campbell Theatre24 Jun '16 to 17 Sep '16 @ 12:00 AM - 12:00 AM
Othello has risen to become a respected military commander who thrives in his hard-won position of power. He and his beautiful wife Desdemona are deeply in love. Yet he loses it all as he is betrayed by Iago and succumbs to blind jealousy. Shakespeare's tale of a fatally flawed leader and the master manipulator who destroys him is set amidst the violence and racism of the American Civil War.
In an inspired twist on the traditional mehfil style, Naad Foundation and Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration (VIBC) join forces to create an evening of global fusion featuring Saanjh.
