THEATRE: Othello, Lowry, 30 Sep to 3 Oct

Angela Kelly
24/ 9/2008

OTHELLO becomes a bouncer in a working-class Northern town in an electrifying adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous play.

Frantic Assembly presents one of the Bard’s most emotional masterpieces, a brutal tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder.

In a world of broken glass and beatings in the car park, there is tension around the pool table – cues in hand – and it’s about to kick off.

Fusing a taut adaptation of the classic text with hard-hitting choreography, Frantic Assembly takes a scalpel to 21st-century Britain to expose the prejudice, danger and fears that underpin today’s society.

In more than 14 years of work, Frantic Assembly has developed a reputation as the country’s leading movement theatre company, with productions including Stockholm, Dirty Wonderland and Peepshow generating critical and public acclaim. For tickets ring 0870 787 5793.
