“Othello at Kentucky Shakespeare Festival delivers another action packed production for all audiences. With lies, deception and chaos, this play builds tension that beats the Louisville heat.”

“The most emotionally shattering piece of theater the company has produced… a performance of devastating beauty… something to behold.”
– Leo Weekly, review by Marty Rosen
“Thought-provoking investigation of the familiar racial themes… about gender dynamics, imbalance of power and partner abuse. One of the most conceptually successful ‘updates’ of Shakespeare I’ve seen.”
– Insider Louisville, review by Eli Keel
“Even if you don’t think of yourself as ‘the Shakespeare type,’ consider an evening at this unique venue. You don’t have to stand up or even pay a penny!”
