For Immediate Release April 27, 2010
Cañada College Theater Arts presents Shakespeare’s celebrated tragedy Othello, the Moor of Venice.
Two "pay-what-you-can" matinees will be held on Thursday afternoons.
The year is 1570. Othello, a man of African descent and Muslim heritage, having attained fame, respect, and fortune as a general of one of the world’s most powerful armies, dares to marry Desdemona - a young, beautiful woman of Venice, and the daughter of a senator, no less. Their love survives the ensuring storm, but not the insidious, corrosive, and brilliant intrusion of Iago, a tormented man whose hatred drives him to destroy all that is beautiful in his world.
Performances will be held:
- Thursday, May 6 and Thursday, May 13 at 1 p.m. (pay-what-you-can Thursday matinees!)
- Friday, May 7 and Saturday, May 8 at 8 p.m.
- Friday, May 14 and Saturday, May 15 at 8 p.m.
All shows will be held in the Flex Theater, Building 3, Room 129, on the Canada College Campus, 4200 Farm Hill Blvd., Redwood City. Tickets are $15 general admission, and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets will be available at the box office, or reservations can be made at brownpapertickets.com.
