"O beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on..."

Read our rave review from Sydney Theatre Reviews!
'Morell gets into the guts of Othello’s character, into his heart and soul, revealing a man tortured by doubt, jealously and the need to “restore honour”....Landrey navigates Desdemona’s torment and trial-by-twisted-facts with such raw vulnerability that I was crying right along when she was begging Othello to see reason...With innovation and authentic truth telling at its core, Othello is a confronting and challenging play that finds a connection with the audience through fantastic acting and collaborative direction.'

'Director Haki Pepo Olu Crisden reimagines the brutal Gothic atmosphere of the play as a bit camp...[this] added a level of unexpected silliness to the torture these characters inflicted on others.' Review of Titus Andronicus (2020), Nightwrites
'Streamed Shakespeare... directed by Haki Pepo Olu Crisden, has brought us a terrific production of both parts of Henry IV...the many-layered production is finely meshed' Review of Henry IV Parts One and Two (2021), Sydney Arts Guide
