It’s Shakespeare under the stars! Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's annual free Shakespeare on the Common production will be Othello, to be performed July 28—Aug. 15 outdoors at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common, in partnership with the City of Boston and Mayor Menino.
Known as one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, Othello is a captivating story about the fall of a charismatic Moorish general through the betrayal of one of his most trusted soldiers. Set against a backdrop of war, Othello is a powerful story about love and jealousy that focuses on the passions and personal lives of its major figures. Othello, with its intimate domestic setting, is widely regarded as the most moving of Shakespeare’s great tragedies.
The program, which has become a beloved civic institution, will draw an estimated 75,000 people over 16 performances.
