SEU Presents Othello at Polk Theatre | Arts & Culture

This April, Southeastern University presents the powerful and inspiring Shakespeare tragedy Othello.

The play will run April 1-3 at the Polk Theatre in Downtown Lakeland with showings on Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

One of Shakespeare’s most eloquent works, Othello, tells a tragic tale of consuming emotion and radical revenge, of deception and delusion, of passion and power. It traces the transformation of Othello, a Moorish general respected by his Venetian colleagues despite his race, from nobility and rationality to devastating jealousy.

Department of Communication Chair John Pierce is directing the play.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, seniors and alumni, and $10 for groups of 10 or more.
