FREDONIA – The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center will present Shakespeare’s classic Othello, captured live via satellite from London’s National Theatre, on Saturday, July 8, at 1 p.m., as part of its Stage On Screen Series.

Captured live from the Lyttelton stage of London’s National Theatre, the production of Shakespeare’s compelling tragedy of boundary-defying love, thwarted by oppressive social barriers and meddling outside forces, is brought up to date.

Directed by Clint Dyer, it boasts a cast that includes Giles Terera (Hamilton), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), and Paul Hilton (The Inheritance).

This production contains racially offensive language and imagery, and depictions of mental and domestic abuse and violence, which some people may find upsetting.

Individual tickets to Othello are $15, ($10 students). Tickets may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday through Friday from noon to 4:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org. The Stage on Screen Series is sponsored by Dr. James M. & Marcia Merrins.

The Opera House is equipped with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member.
