The Winter Classic Season: Othello

Class Act Theatre (Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Lysistrata) team up with Bare Naked Theatre Company (As You Like It, Romeo & Juliet) to bring you a two hour version of this brooding and powerful masterpiece - rarely performed in WA. Othello tells the story of a black man in a white society, a story as meaningful and pertinent today as when it was written four centuries ago. Stephen Lee, who did a brilliant job of Class Act's 2004 production of Othello at the Subiaco Theatre Centre, directs again. Cast Ian Bolgia as Othello David Meadows as Iago Kim Walsh as Desdemona Dan Luxton as Cassio Angelique Malcolm as Emilia Stephen Lee as Brabantio/Lodovico James Davies as Roderigo Here are some comments about that production: Di Day: “”‘Othello’, produced by Class Act Theatre, was a brilliant production.” “Stephen Lee’s direction was masterful, making the most of the limitations of the venue.” Jason Seperic (Theatre Australia Website): “All in all, a wonderful production... I truly look forward to seeing more of Stephen Lee's work in the future.” Alicia Smith (Theatre Australia Website): “It is wonderful to see such a talented cast, technically superior crew come together in such a way.” Newman College: “Othello was outstanding. The production brought to life the domestic aspects of the play very well. Watching Iago and Emilia was a treat. The direction was outstanding.” Thornlie SHS: “An excellent production! You captivated the audience and really brought the play to life, making it accessible to our students!” VENUES AND DATES: THE DON RUSSELL PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE: (Murdoch Rd, Thornlie) Thu 31 May – 10am SPECIAL SCHOOLS MATINEE BOOKINGS: 9493 4577 THE RECHABITES HALL: (224 William St, Northbridge) June 6 to 9 (Wed-Sat 8pm) June 12 to 16 (Tues-Sat 8pm) June 19 to 23 (Tues-Sat 8pm) Sat 30 June 2pm matinee PLUS Special Schools Matinees: 10am shows: Wed 6 June, Tue 12 June, Tue 19 June & Fri 29 June BOOKINGS THROUGH BOCS: 9484 1133 Groups: 9321 6831 TICKET PRICES (PERTH): SPECIAL SCHOOL GROUP PRICE: ONLY $14.00 (One free teacher’s ticket for every 15 booked) Other prices: $28.00 full, $19.00 concession, $17.00 student Groups $25.00/$17.00 SOUTH WEST TOUR (July 2 – 15) BUNBURY REGIONAL ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE: July 5 & July 6 at 7.30pm Schools matinees: July 4 & July 5 at 10am WELD THEATRE, BUSSELTON July 12 at 10am & 7.30pm July 13 at 10am Email: sales@barenakedtheatre.com.au TICKETS (SOUTHWEST): Through BUNBURY REC: 9791 1133 TICKET PRICES (SOUTHWEST): Adult: $29.50, Concession: $20.00, School Groups & children: $14.00
