Othello: Staged: the origins of YA’s greatest tropes

With a foreword by Malorie Blackman, author of the Noughts & Crosses series and Chasing the Stars. ‘Farewell the tranquil mind; farewell content.’ Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of jealousy and miscommunication. Jealousy is a hell of a drug. After being passed over for promotion, the envious flag-bearer Iago begins a vicious campaign of whispers against his leader, the famed Black Venetian General, Othello. As Iago’s manipulation spins ever-wider, Othello becomes increasingly entangled in his web of lies. As Othello’s passion is turned against him, he is driven to the edge. To ruin. To murder. Othello is Shakespeare’s iconic tale of love and jealousy.
