ENGLISH TOURING THEATRE ANNOUNCESVICTOR OSHIN’S PROFESSIONAL DEBUT AS OTHELLO –
WITH FURTHER TOUR DATES AND EDUCATION PROGRAMME
English Touring Theatre have announced Victor Oshin making his professional debut as Othello in the upcoming revival of Richard Twyman’s critically acclaimed production of Othello, a co-production with Oxford Playhouse and Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory.
Othello is one of Shakespeare’s most startlingly contemporary plays – a masterful depiction of a life torn apart by prejudice. Following a critically acclaimed tour and London run, Richard Twyman’s vital production of Othello is brought to the stage by UK Theatre Award winners English Touring Theatre in a co-production with Oxford Playhouse and Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory.
Further dates are announced for the national tour which opens at Oxford Playhouse on 20 September and tours to Harrogate Theatre, Cast in Doncaster, Lawrence Batley Theatre, Everyman Theatre Cheltenham, Oldham Coliseum Theatre, The New Wolsey Theatre, Warwick Arts Centre, Northern Stage and Lighthouse Poole.
In addition ETT’s Othello Education Programme will run alongside the tour offering students and teachers insight into Shakespeare’s Othello and their critically acclaimed production. The programme will provide education packs, workshops, pre and post show talks with members of the company, as well as additional resources including podcasts and recorded footage.
Othello is at Northern Stage from 13-17 November. Tickets start from £10 and are available online atwww.northernstage.co.uk or by calling the box office on 0191 230 5151.
