August 19  OTHELLO, PRESENTED BY WILL KEMPE'S PLAYERS
Cool Park - Frank A. Leak Amphitheater For The Arts
Shambrook Parkway - Colonie, NY
Will Kempe’s Players, a local original practices theatre company, presents Shakespeare’s Othello! We will be traveling in and around the Capital Region once more. Make sure to look out for the venue closest to you!

Synopsis:
The Tragedy of Othello (or The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) revolves around the title character and the circumstances resulting from his secret marriage to the daughter of a senator, the beautiful Desdemona, as well as the promotion of Michael Cassio over Othello's most trusted confidant, Iago. Iago’s jealousy drives him to manipulate everyone around him, including Roderigo who is already enraged that the woman whom he secretly loves, Desdemona, has been married to the “Moor.” Just as it appears a long life of combat and conflict may be behind him, Othello's mind is infected by Iago’s deception and he grows jealous as Iago convinces him Desdemona is unfaithful and a whole host of other characters fall victim to Iago's falsehoods, thus leading to the play’s tragic end.

August 26  OTHELLO, PRESENTED BY WILL KEMPE'S PLAYERS
Northville Waterfront Park
142 South Main Street - Northville, NY
Will Kempe’s Players, a local original practices theatre company, presents Shakespeare’s Othello! We will be traveling in and around the Capital Region once more. Make sure to look out for the venue closest to you!

Synopsis:
The Tragedy of Othello (or The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) revolves around the title character and the circumstances resulting from his secret marriage to the daughter of a senator, the beautiful Desdemona, as well as the promotion of Michael Cassio over Othello's most trusted confidant, Iago. Iago’s jealousy drives him to manipulate everyone around him, including Roderigo who is already enraged that the woman whom he secretly loves, Desdemona, has been married to the “Moor.” Just as it appears a long life of combat and conflict may be behind him, Othello's mind is infected by Iago’s deception and he grows jealous as Iago convinces him Desdemona is unfaithful and a whole host of other characters fall victim to Iago's falsehoods, thus leading to the play’s tragic end.
