Welcome to Ruff Reads! (The thing Christine is most excited about this season! 🤓)
We invite you to read along with us for the next few months and participate in an ongoing conversation about the themes and history of Shakespeare’s Othello, what it means to adapt or reimagine that story today, and some context for our summer production of OtÎhêw.
