Hi everyone! Our steampunk-themed production of Othello is opening this weekend at Brandeis University (in Waltham), and we thought you guys would be interested.
We're the student-lead Shakespeare group at Brandeis (Hold Thy Peace), and we've re-imagined Othello as the only human in a community of cyborgs.
The first show is in the Shapiro Campus Center Theater on Thursday, March 31 at 7:00pm, followed by a talk-back with the actors and directors. We will discuss issues that surface when race, theatre, and science fiction collide.
Additional performances are on Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2 at 8:00 PM, followed by a Sunday, April 3 matinee at 2:00 PM.
Admission is free!
You can find directions here:

Feel free to let us know what you think about our theme. I'm a co-director of the show and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
