… female military general

meets her soulmate

… Desdemona is captivated by Othello’s battle stories

… she by Desdemona’s compassion

… Their love holds promise and potential

… together they are a positive force for change

… their unsanctioned marriage

perilously crosses boundaries of race, sex and status

… in a climate-threatened future

… a black lesbian holds a seat of power

… can Othello’s gifts of feminine intuition, professional prowess and devoted love protect her?

Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, 13 Feb – 3 Apr 2027
