Free tickets for Bard on the Beach’s Othello

2489

bardThe Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival opens its 20th Anniversary Season with the powerful tragedy Othello enjoying its first-ever staging at the Festival and Kitsilano.ca is giving away a pair of tickets for the performance on Friday, June 5th.

One of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, Othello reveals how jealousy, prejudice, deceit and betrayal can drive innocent love to tragedy. Angry that the noble moor Othello has promoted inexperienced Cassio instead of him, Iago sets out to exact revenge. In a dazzling display of villainy, Iago convinces Othello that his new bride Desdemona has been unfaithful with Cassio, driving Othello to rage, madness and murder.

Othello runs Tuesdays to Sundays in the 520-seat open-ended Mainstage tent in Vanier Park from May 28 to September 25th. Tickets are $34 for evenings and $18 to $28.50 for previews/matinees.

There are four ways to enter your name in the draw for the two tickets to 8:00pm performance of Othello on Friday, June 5th – comment on this blog post,  subscribe by email  to Kitsilano.ca (see subscribe box in bottom right corner), follow Kitsilano.ca on Twitter or retweet this post on Twitter.
