Iago Speaks is a sophisticated and entirely original play that celebrates and questions the very idea of what Theatre is. At first glance, the play appears to follow the events immediately after the curtain comes down on Shakespeare’s Othello; but the story quickly turns, introducing us to Iago’s jailor – a bit player – as he tries to find the true purpose of his repetitive task of keeping watch over Iago. If you don’t quite ‘get’ Shakespeare, don’t worry: neither does the Jailor! This meta-theatrical comedic romp into the imagined next chapter of a notorious Shakespearean villain is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. Will Iago break free? Will the Jailor finally be the protagonist of his own story? What is the point of stories? Why do we keep telling the same old stories repeatedly? Iago Speaks tackles all of the big questions – and more.
