AFTER OTHELLO: The MOOR The Merrier

JULY 4, 2023 at the 10th Annual International IKATA Shakespeare Festival in NOVI SAD, SERBIA (Šekspir festival)

To make this extraordinary opportunity a reality we need a little bit of help...

** THE $25 DRIVE **
To cover last minute unexpected airfare costs & added artist fees we are seeking 100 people from our loving network of friends, colleagues, and family to donate $25 each = $2500 in 25 Days (Fundraiser Ends on June 10th. Larger donations are also welcome ;-))

Please CLICK HERE for THREE EASY WAYS TO DONATE: https://www.gfandco.org/get-involved/25-drive-after-othello

AFTER OTHELLO is an original dark-comedy featuring the often-forgotten role of The Clown from Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Othello,The Moor of Venice.
**
Currently unemployed, and having seen far better days, The Clown takes us on a comical, absurd, and sometimes searing search to uncover the truth behind the motives and murders in this famous, brutal, and controversial tragedy.
**
AFTER OTHELLO questions our notions of honesty, jealousy, complicity, evil, and othering.

Written & Directed by Gia Forakis
Performed by GF&CO Founding Member Actors, Adam Boncz & Juju Stulbach
