Othello

Movie magnets Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal star in Shakespeare's fast-paced tragedy of jealousy and misplaced trust, in which a villain preys on the insecurities of a Moorish war hero married to a Florentine woman. The busy Kenny Leon (Our Town) directs the play's first Broadway revival in more than 40 years, which is sure to be a highly coveted ticket (or at least extremely expensive one). The principal cast also includes Molly Osborne as Desdemona, Andrew Burnap as Cassio, Kimber Elayne Sprawl as Emilia and Anthony Michael Lopez as the hapless Roderigo.
