Join academics and artists for an insightful, day-long exploration of Othello, Shakespeare’s blistering tragedy.

Celebrated by many, Othello has risen through the ranks. But can his hard-won reputation, his marriage to Desdemona, and his integrity survive the people and systems that surround him? Led by our expert team of Globe researchers and visiting academics, we will guide you through the theatrical and cultural landscape – then and now – of one of Shakespeare’s most poignant tragedies.

You’ll end the day with a Q&A with industry professionals sharing their experiences of bringing Othello to the stage, giving you the chance to ask questions and gain further insight into the play.

Whether you’re new to Shakespeare or looking for a fresh perspective, our Study Days are perfect for anyone looking to gain deeper insights and explore Shakespeare like never before.

This Study Day can be enjoyed on its own but is also a perfect introduction to our 2024 production of Othello, which is now available to stream on Globe Player.
