Tony Award® winner and two-time Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and Tony Award nominee and Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal return to Broadway in Spring 2025 in a new production of William Shakespeare’s Othello, directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon.
This spring, experience Shakespeare’s epic tale like never before. Tony and Academy Award winner Denzel Washington stars as ‘Othello,’ the noble Moor of Venice and commanding warrior-general. Opposite him, Tony and Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal portrays ‘Iago,’ the ambitious lieutenant and masterful manipulator.
Spurned for promotion, Iago’s relentless quest for vengeance against Othello and his wife, Desdemona (portrayed by Molly Osborne), plunges them into a shocking web of deception and betrayal.
Othello will open in Spring 2025 at a Shubert Theatre to-be-announced.
Othello is produced by Brian Anthony Moreland with casting by Duncan Stewart of ARC Casting and 101 Productions as General Managers.
