The National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest presents
Shakespeare for a New Generation
Idaho Shakespeare Festival's production is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national
initiative sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest.
Idaho Shakespeare Festival is one of 40 professional theater companies selected to participate
in Shakespeare for a New Generation, bringing the finest productions of Shakespeare to thousands
of middle- and high-school students in communities across the United States. This is the sixth
phase of Shakespeare in American Communities, the largest tour of Shakespeare in American history.
Shakespearience Presents
Othello
By William Shakespeare
Available February 22 - April 30
Download Study Guide (PDF) »
Recommended for students Grades 7 - 12
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
the meat it feeds on.”
Friendship, betrayal, love, and deceit lie at the center of this gripping story. Iago, arguably the most gruesome of villains in literature, convinces Othello, a Moor and a general in the Venetian army, that his new wife, Desdemona, has been unfaithful. As the play unfolds, so do the lives of those who trust suspicion and give into jealousy.
“Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.”
