Review: House of Life at Soho Theatre

Wilton’s Music Hall is set to play host to one of Shakespeare’s most startlingly contemporary plays, Othello. A masterful depiction of a life torn apart by racism and the destructive nature of prejudice, this modern retelling takes the timeless tale of love, jealousy and injustice and reimagines it in the present day. Following on from a critically acclaimed run at the renowned Tobacco Factory Theatres in Bristol, Richard Twyman’s urgently relevant production comes to London for a limited run.

The tale of a Muslim general employed by a western colonial power to lead their army against Turkish invasion, the tragic play sees Othello face the difficulties of assimilating into a society riven by discrimination, fear and mistrust. Manipulated by Iago and his whispered mistruths, this begins to take its toll and his life quickly unravels as he turns on all he holds dear as paranoia and delusion take over.

The cast includes Abraham Popoola, as Othello, and Norah Lopez Holden as Desdemona and is at Wilton’s Music Hall 16th May – 3rd June.
