Iago Speaks
Rumpus
01 - 09 Aug, 18 - 23 Aug
At first glance, Iago Speaks
appears to follow the events immediately after Shakespeare's Othello. But
this meta-theatrical, comedic romp quickly turns, introducing us to Iago’s
hapless jailer, always landing in Shakespeare plays, but with no lines.
His quest, as he languishes by Iago’s dungeon cell, is to discover the
true purpose for his life, and – ultimately – theatre. A classic comedy
duo, Iago and his jailer descend into a mad adventure, its ultimate
purpose only revealed at the end. The play is boundless, ridiculous and
constantly winking at the audience and yet, manages to make us think.
