Kazuki Alex Kato Will Perform in the Tragedy of Othello

Kazuki Alex Kato will perform in Othello, a tragedy by William Shakespeare, at Setagaya Public Theater, Tokyo from Sunday, June 9 through Sunday June 23.

The work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his wife, Desdemona; his lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted ensign, Iago. Because of its varied and current themes of racism, love, jealousy, and betrayal, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theaters and has been the basis for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

This time, Othello is restructured by Akira Shirai, a talented stage director/actor, from the modern perspective and Toru Nakamura will play the leading role of Othello.
