Solihull Arts Complex

As part of Festival 36, we are delighted to announce that we'll be schowing an Encore screening of the National Theatre Live production of Much Ado About Nothing on the big screen at The Core Theatre Solihull.

Othello by William Shakespeare
directed by Clint Dyer

An extraordinary new production of Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedy, directed by Clint Dyer with a cast that includes Giles Terera (Hamilton), Rosy McEwean (The Alienist) and Paul Hilton (The Inheritance).

She’s a bright, headstrong daughter of a senator; elevated by her status but stifled by its expectations. He’s refugee of slavery; having risen to the top of a white world, he finds love across racial lines has a cost. 

Wed in secret, Desdemona and Othello crave a new life together. But as unseen forces conspire against them, they find their future is not theirs to decide.  

Othello is filmed on the Lyttleton stage of the National Theatre.

​This is a screening, not a live production.
