Οθέλλος Σαικσπείρου Τραγωδίαι Μέρος Β'

Set against the shimmering canals of 19th‑century Venice, this Greek rendition of Shakespeare’s tragedy opens with a tense encounter on a narrow street. Othello, the celebrated Moor of Venice, has just arrived with his retinue, and the audience is introduced to a cast of noble Venetians, Cypriot officials, and loyal servants whose loyalties are already shifting like the tide.

In the first act, a sharp exchange between the aristocratic Rodrikos and the scheming Iagos hints at the poisonous rivalry that will drive the drama forward. Their words crackle with suspicion, ambition, and veiled threats, while the looming prospect of a campaign in Cyprus adds a political urgency to the personal animosities. Listeners will feel the weight of honor, the sting of jealousy, and the subtle manipulations that begin to coil around Othello before the story moves beyond the city’s fog‑filled alleys.
