“Othello,” Shakespeare’s tragic portrayal of love, deceit, jealousy and murder, will be performed Feb. 21 through 25 in Peters Theater on the William Jewell College campus in Liberty, Mo. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21, 22, 23 and 24, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 24 and 25. Tickets are $5 for all students with an ID and $6 for adults.

Shakespeare’s brilliant work centers on Othello and his corrupt officer Iago who, for his own professional gain, manipulates Othello into believing his new wife has been unfaithful with Cassio, a younger officer. The story takes a tragic turn as Iago’s lies and Othello’s misconceptions become dangerously intertwined.
