OTHELLO

or

Tracking the Green-eyed Monster
By Nancy Linehan Charles

Adapted from Shakespeare

Cast: Cast: 8 - 11 + extras as desired. By the author of "Macbeth: a
Kid's Cautionary Tale..." this play is written using the story-theatre
format with sassy storytellers narrating from the sidelines, keeping
the plot on track, firing off wry comments on the action and
encouraging the audience to participate. In this tale of intrigue and
treachery, we see the tragic consequences of gossip, slander, peer
pressure and trust in the wrong person. Set against the raucous
military campaign in Cyprus, "Othello" charts the cunning power of evil
as it poisons innocence. A mesmerizing tale of the good guy who takes
oh-such-a-wrong turn. The moral? Pick your friends carefully and dump
false pride in the nearest receptacle. Flexible set.
