Unveiling Othello: Lara Foot’s African Twist Takes Center Stage at The Baxter – Exclusive Discounts Await!

Get ready to embark on a wild ride as The Baxter proudly unveils the South African premiere of Lara Foot’s super-famous version of Othello. Picture this: Shakespeare’s classic takes a detour through Africa, debuting in Germany in September 2022, and it’s been making waves ever since. Lara Foot, the creative genius behind this spectacle, bagged the Gustaf Theatre Award 2023 for her jaw-dropping work on Othello.

Now, in this South African rendition, crafted with flair by Gerhard Marx and groovy tunes by Kyle Shepherd, Foot dives deep into Othello’s psyche, throwing in an African twist. Forget the traditional setting – we’re talking German colonialism vibes here, with the play delivered in multiple languages to keep things spicy.

When this theatrical gem hit the stage at Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus, the media couldn’t get enough. Nachricht gushed, “Lara Foot flips Shakespeare’s script, throwing it right into the glory days of European colonialism…” N.R.Z. called it “well thought-out, consistent, and stylish,” and Kölner Stadtanzeiger hailed it as a “powerful, thrilling season opener in Düsseldorf.”
