Showcasing Shakespeare
LEAP school students showcased their acting skills at the Artscape Theatre for the Shakespeare Schools Festival, taking on roles in Shakespeare’s tragedy of jealousy and otherness, Othello, and his well-loved comedy, Twelfth Night.
See the students at work in Othello, the story of a heroic Moorish general who marries a Venetian nobleman’s daughter, the beautiful Desdemona. Through the machinations of Iago, Othello is driven into a jealous rage and murders his wife. After realising his mistake, a devastated Othello kills himself.
