<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Cambridge, NY June 28, 2016)<span> </span>Hubbard Hall’s Annual Free Shakespeare in the
Park returns this summer from July 7–16 with our first-ever production of <i>Othello</i>.<span>
</span>In a country beleaguered by wars and finally at peace, a soldier and
trusted advisor seeks to destroy their leader – because of the leader’s
achievements, his place in society, and the color of his skin. Join us for this
thrilling exploration of envy, jealousy, racial hatred, and one man’s quest to
destroy another.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This fast-paced dramatic journey, directed by Erin Ouellette,
will bring the world of the play to vibrant life in five beautiful settings
across the region. With minimal props and costumes, the focus will be on the
words, the actions, the actors, and the setting.<span> </span>Each site will inform how we do what we do,
with an emphasis on a fierce, fearless tackling of Shakespeare’s world and
words. With a mix of young local talent and seasoned professionals, this
company will blend Shakespeare’s world with our own, exploring how love, race,
status, and jealousy continue to shape us – and what can happen when we are
poisoned with doubt and envy. <br>
<br>
"We're thrilled to produce this timely and timeless classic," says
Executive & Artistic Director David Snider. "In the wake of all the
racism roaring to the surface across our country in recent years, it seemed
like the right moment to produce this extraordinary play. Erin's done wonderful
work with a great cast. It's sure to be a breathtaking evening of
theater." <span> </span></p>
