Students and staff of the Department of English attended a brilliant performance of Shakespeare鈥檚 play Othello at the Manoel Theatre, on Friday 13 May 2022, as part of the Friends of the Manoel Outreach Programme, by way of introducing younger generations of English literature students to the theatre and to Shakespeare鈥檚 performed texts.
The Friends of the Manoel is a non-governmental organization founded in 1986 with the aim of safeguarding the national theatre and introducing it to an ever-wider audience.
This version of the famous play explored jealousy, revenge, and ambition, issues which students can relate to today just as well as the audience in Shakespeare鈥檚 time did.
