Gemma Bodinetz directs first Shakespeare since her production of Twelfth Night to open the new Everyman in 2014.

The first female Othello in a major production will be brought to the Everyman stage this May, as Golda Rosheuvel performs in a challenging and timely adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.

Directed by Gemma Bodinetz, winner of Best Director at the 2017 U.K. Theatre Awards, the production is the third in a series of four plays by the Everyman Company in 2018. Using the original script the Company will explore themes of love, power, jealousy and deception synonymous with the Shakespearean tragedy.
