“Perdition catch my soul, but I do love thee, and when I love thee not, chaos is come again”

Cyprus is under threat from an invasion from the Turks. The Duke of Venice sends his best general, Othello the Moor, to defend the island in its hour of need. Othello is newly married to the young and beautiful Desdemona. Their love seems indestructible. But as the fate of Europe hangs in the balance, Othello’s malevolent officer Iago has other plans.

Determined to destroy his commander, Iago rips apart Othello’s love for Desdemona by sowing seeds of jealousy in his tortured mind.

Inspired by the Revive, Repair, Re-use community exhibition we will be going on a seed hunt, collecting seeds to support the Woodland Creation Initiative. Meet outside the museum entrance.
