Othello

Who says you need huge movie stars to do Othello? Classical Theatre of Harlem's annual series of free outdoor performances in Marcus Garvey Park—sometimes known as Uptown Shakespeare in the Park—presents Shakespeare's fast-paced tragedy of jealousy, race and misplaced trust, in which a villain preys on the insecurities of a dark-skinned war hero married to a Venetian woman. Carl Cofield directs the full production, which stars James Udom, Nick Westrate, Isabel Arraiza, Orlando Grant, Keren Lugo and Hiram Delgado. Tickets are free but reservations (and donations) are suggested.
