Othello
Resources “Othello.
Shakespeare. I this a play we should be presenting to children or young
adults? This script contains scenes of sexual jealousy, drunkenness,
misogyny, violence, murder and suicide. All the extremes to which Mr.
Shakespeare, and now Ms. York, choose to go are for extremely pure reasons.
This story carefully takes apart and reveals the tragedy of the Jealous Man,
the man who believe he can own another. We all know this man, see him
around us, even in the new generation, the generation we hope will transcend
this curse of humanity. It’s easy to blame the tragedy on Iago—he is the
villain—but the story is called “Othello” because it is his flaws that allow
the tragedy to unfold. He chooses to believe his male buddy over the word
of his own wife, a woman with whom he has ostensibly entered into a lifetime
relationship. What kind of relationship is this? What kind of friendship? MST Education has collaborated with Hoboken Historical Museum over the past several years, leading drama workshops with Hoboken school students and their families on the themes of the HHM exhibits On the Waterfront, City Animals and History of Hoboken.
