Othello Undone by Deni Fuson
weaves the dark energy of Shakespeare's "Othello" with compelling,
current-day characters and problems. The play will be at 7:30 PM on
Thursday, November 11 and Saturday, November 13, 2004. Tickets are $6.00.
All proceeds benefit the RHS Drama Club.
Andreya,
a selfish student who gets what she wants by being manipulative and cruel, is
affronted when she doesn't get the lead female role for the school's production
of "Othello." Instead the part of Desdemona goes to Miranda, a
quiet by talented teen whose dysfunctional family has kept her out of many
school activities. The part of Othello foes to Aaron, a well-rounded but
popular student. As the
rehearsals progress, Andreya devises a payback. Like Shakespeare's
character Iago, she uses the love that springs up between Othello and Desdemona,
in this case Aaron and Miranda, to try to destroy them.
