“Othello”: PTD Productions/Brevity Shakespeare
Every Wed.–Sun., Nov. 13–22. Karl Sikkenga directs local actors in a 90-minute abridged version of Shakespeare’s tragedy of jealousy, suspicion, and betrayal. The production sets the action in 1881 San Francisco where Othello is a U.S. army general who’s just married the sweet Desdemona. His aide-de-camp, Iago, sets out on a vengeful scheme to turn Othello against his wife that embroils all those close to both men, with the innocent used as pawns for evil by a character considered Shakespeare’s most villainous. 7:30 p.m. (Thurs.–Sat.) & 2 p.m. (Sun. & Wed.), Riverside Arts Center, 76 N. Huron St., Ypsi. Tickets $20 (students & seniors, $15; Thurs., pay what you can), in advance at ptdproductions.com, by phone, and at the door. (734) 483–7345.
