Cleveland Shakespeare Festival - Othello

The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival, Cleveland’s only source for FREE, outdoor Shakespearean theater, proudly announces its 14th Season.  This season, CSF will be presenting William Shakespeare’s Othello, directed by Aaron D. Elersich, and Love’s Labour’s Lost, directed by Celeste Cosentino, Artistic Director of Ensemble Theater of Cleveland.

Othello is Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of ambition, betrayal, jealousy, and love and will play on Saturday, July 9 at 7pm

Love’s Labour’s Lost plays on Sunday, July 10 at 7pm.  This is not the play you’re expecting to see!  A very unique re-telling of the Bard's classic romantic comedy, this radically abridged and gender reversed adaptation is not for the purist - but not to be missed. 

Both shows will continue in repertory on Saturdays and Sundays at various outdoor locations throughout Northeast Ohio. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and seat themselves prior to each outdoor performance.  There are rain spaces for every venue except Wade Oval, allowing performances to proceed, rain or shine.
