‘OTHELLO’ – The Moor of Venice : The School of Law, Christ University
one of Shakespeare’s finest and most complex tragedies :
‘OTHELLO’ – The Moor of Venice.
In the enviable tradition of presenting a Shakespearean drama – unabridged – every
year, the School of Law, Christ University presents Shakespeare’s immortal
classic ‘Othello’ this year. On November
30 and December 1 in the Christ University main auditorium (also one of the
finest in Bangalore) and on December 3 in Kengeri campus.
Handpicked from a clutch of premium actors, the key roles
of OTHELLO are played by mature actors who show remarkable prescience and
understanding of the vagaries of the human psyche coupled with the tragedy of
ambition.
Christ University’s venture into mega productions began
in 2012. With script,music and dance entirely written, composed and created by
students across the disciplines of the University, ‘Of Power and Passion’ was
produced in 2012 and ‘Francesco’ was presented in 2013. ‘David- The Warrior,
The King, The Man’ will be staged in March 2014.
It is the first University n the country to have
pioneered a degree programme in Theatre Studies – the first performance by the
Theatre Studies Students was ‘ Savre’ a revue of excerpts from musical theatre
of the 20th century. Likewise, the School of Law performed Shakespeare’s‘The Merchant Of Venice’in 2012
and will now present ‘Othello’ in November, this year.
The play is directed by theatre professional Esther
Yates,who trainedin the Calcutta Light Opera Group and Society and with Pearl
and Alyque Padamsee later.
‘Othello’ by the School of Law promises to deliver
powerful, poignant and piquant performances and
theatrical genius rarely seen at university levels.
