Lean Ensemble Theater is also proud to present a one-night only performance of the LeanEnsemble OthelloGreenville-based Warehouse Theatre’€™s production of William Shakespeare’s Othello.

What happens when evil and manipulation are loosed upon a world where inequity and jealousy already reign? When suspicion, xenophobia, and distrust flourish, how can love survive? How can we decipher the truth when lies and deceit become commonplace, and a person’€™s word is no longer their bond? Set in a stark, not-so-distant-future, The Warehouse Theatre’€™s touring production of Othello asks these timeless questions.

One performance only! October 11 at 7:30 pm. Othello runs approximately 75 minutes with no intermission. Tickets: $25. Hilton Head Preparatory School Main Street Theatre, 3000 Main Street, Hilton Head Island. Tickets: $25. www.leanensemble.orgor call 843-715-6676.

This Warehouse Theatre’€™s touring production of Othello is supported by BMW Group Plant Spartanburg.
