NIGHT FOUR of our International Performance Festival features Debra Ann Byrd's BECOMING OTHELLO: A BLACK GIRL'S JOURNEY on Thursday January 8 at 8:30pm NST (running time: 100 min) at the LSPU Hall, 3 Victoria Street - tickets are $25 and available from the Box Office.
BECOMING OTHELLO: A BLACK GIRL'S JOURNEY is a critically acclaimed, personal, poignant and powerful story of perseverance, tragedy, triumph—and ultimately unconditional love.
Directed by Tina Packer, this one woman theatrical drama is a victory story about making it against all odds.
Through rhyme, meter, soulful songs, and lyrical language, the show chronicles the life of classical actress, Debra Ann Byrd; her trials and triumphs; and her gender-flipped journey on the road to becoming Shakespeare’s noble flawed general Othello.
