Shakespeare’s OTHELLO rages to life in an explosive new production starring David Harewood OBE (Homeland, Best of Enemies) as Othello, Toby Jones OBE (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Detectorists) as Iago and Caitlin FitzGerald (Succession, Masters of Sex) as Desdemona.
Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire.
Performances begin at Theatre Royal Haymarket, London’s West End venue that specialises in short-run, star-led high quality productions from 23 October 2025 until 17 January 2026.
This is the first of a series of contemporary Shakespeare productions created by Tom Morris for Chris Harper Productions to be staged in the West End over the next five years.
Joining Tom Morris and PJ Harvey on the creative team are Ti Green (Designer), Jon Nicholls (Sound Design and Additional Music), Richard Howell (Lighting Design), Anna Cooper CDG (Casting), Dominic Skinner (Make-up Design), Suzanne Scotcher (Hair & Wigs Design), Katie Henry (Associate Director), Bethan James (Assistant Director), Laila Diallo (Movement Director), Sabia Smith (Costume Supervisor), Mariama Bojang (Assistant Costume Designer), Sheena Linden (Company Manager), Damian Partington (Production Manager) and Samantha Adams (Dramatherapist).
