Othello - Red 'n' Blue Theatre Company at The Everyman Cork

What to Expect

Red ‘n’ Blue Theatre Company bring a traditional staging of Shakespeare’s Othello to The Everyman in Cork, with the main public performance on Thursday September 24, 2026 at 7:30pm. The same production runs as school matinees at 10am and 1pm from Tuesday September 22 through Friday September 25, giving secondary students a chance to see the tragedy performed live during the week. The play follows Othello’s fall as Iago’s manipulation tightens around him, turning love into jealousy and trust into suspicion, in a story that has remained one of Shakespeare’s most performed tragedies. The production runs around 2 hours including an interval and carries a 16+ recommendation, with a content warning for domestic violence, so it is aimed at teenage and adult audiences studying or simply following the play rather than young children.

Getting There

Because most of the run is given over to school matinees, the September 24 evening date is the main opportunity for the general public to see this staging, so it is worth booking ahead of the week rather than leaving it to the day.
