Marin Shakespeare Company’s most passionate endeavors unite this summer in the theater company’s 2016 production of “Othello,” when former California State Prison inmate, Dameion Brown, makes his stage debut in title role in William Shakespeare's classic tragedy.
Brown, who participated and performed in Marin Shakespeare Company’s 2015 “Shakespeare at Solano” theater arts program at California State Prison, Solano, studied, pursued, auditioned and won the role of Othello, one of Shakespeare’s most complicated and enthralling characters.
A complex and powerful tale of betrayal, jealousy and manipulation, "Othello" follows the tragic transformation of a brave and honorable Moorish general driven to rage and regret when betrayed by his opportunistic and vengeful friend and ensign.
The production also stars Cassidy Brown as Iago, Luisa Frasconi as Desdemona, Elena Wright as Emilia and Jeff Wiesen as Cassio.
Performances are presented outdoors 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; and 4 p.m. Sundays.
The amphitheater opens one hour prior to show time for picnicking. Audiences are encouraged to bring picnics or purchase snacks at the Theatre Cafe. Warm clothing, jackets and blankets are recommended for evening performances.
Parking is free.
