OTHELLO
PASSWORD: othello2020
If truth has lost its meaning, how long can love survive? Evil is everywhere in Shakespeare’s great tragedy of racism and jealousy, as the love of Othello and Desdemona is destroyed by envy, and fact is twisted by innuendo. You’ll find yourself on the edge of your seat as the deadly machinations unfold.

TWELFTH NIGHT
PASSWORD: 12night2020alt
Shipwrecked Viola is in love with Orsino… who is in love with Olivia … who is in love with Cesario … who is secretly Viola disguised as a man.
In a world turned upside down, what could possibly go wrong (or right?).
