Othello

Cambridge University European Theatre Group


Publicity package for Cambridge University’s European Theatre Group production of Othello in venues across Europe. Custom type and keyboard motifs were created for the 1960s-Jazz themed production. Included below are spreads from the 40pp education pack designed to accompany the production and distributed to different schools.

A story of love, jealousy, deceit and prejudice, Othello is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. This timeless play has been reinvented again and again, its warnings and lessons remaining resonant for every society that comes to it, and 2018 will see ETG reimagine the play in the vibrant and explosive 1960s London jazz era.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,         Enwrought with golden and silver light,        The blue and the dim and the dark cloth        Of night and light and the half-light,        I would spread the cloths under your feet:        But I, being poor, have only my dreams;        I have spread my dreams under your feet;        Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.        Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven by W.B. Yeats, 1899
