Lust and jealousy, manipulation and deceit take center stage as Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre presents Othello. This intense, fast-paced production of Shakespeare's gripping tale features Javon Johnson as the noble warrior Othello, Allison McLemore as his beautiful wife Desdemona, and Michael Hanrahan as the villain Iago.

NOW PLAYING through June 12 in the intimate Henry Heymann Theatre in the Stephen Foster Memorial, Oakland

Passed over for promotion, veteran soldier Iago is embittered and feels betrayed by a system that elevates a black man to a position of authority. In retaliation, he cunningly leads Othello to believe that his wife is having an affair with another soldier. Iago stokes passionate Othello's jealousy, leading to catastrophic consequences.
