“Othello” By the Lord Chamberlain’s Men

Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer for Othello. One of the most captivating and powerful plays ever written and one of Shakespeare’s greatest works. A stunning story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well. 

“O beware, my lord, of jealousy. It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”

With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare’s original company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men present this play as he first encountered it – in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance. 

This stunning and devastatingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be rapt and transported. Book early to avoid missing out!
