2008 Shakespeare Festival
Join us this summer for Othello, one of Shakespeare’s greatest
tragedies and a play that has not been professionally produced in Kansas City
in more than two decades. Join us in Southmoreland Park, June 17
through July 6, for this riveting story of passion, manipulation and
betrayal. Othello reveals a complex world in which social order, racial
politics, and personal ambitions push the treacherous Iago to destroy
Othello and his wife Desdemona. The Festival will illuminate the dynamic and
poetic text of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, making Othello accessible
for audiences of all ages. Damon Gupton, Associate Conductor of the
Kansas City Symphony and a Juilliard-trained actor, will be featured as
Othello, with a cast of fifteen Kansas City actors joining him on our
stage in Southmoreland Park.
