Shakespeare’s Othello
16th August 2026
Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men next summer for Othello. One of the most captivating and powerful plays ever written and one of Shakespeare’s greatest works. A stunning story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well.
“O beware, my lord, of jealousy.
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.”
With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare’s original company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men present this play as he first encountered it – in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.
This stunning and devastatingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be rapt and transported. Book early to avoid missing out!
