"Give me a living reason she's disloyal!"

After last year's smash-hit production of The Taming of the Shrew, Upstart Theatre Company is proud to present its 2009 Shakespeare on the Lake production: Othello, the Moor of Venice.

One of Shakespeare's most gripping tales, and containing some of his most beautiful language, Othello explores the all-too-human traits of jealousy, obsession, and revenge.

Once again audiences will be able to picnic under the stars as they watch this sumptuous production directed by visionary artist Joanne Williams (The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Proposal) and starring Garreth Bradshaw, Cameron Clark, Rhiannon Eastman, Grace Edwards, Carmelo Furfaro, Cary Hudson, Kyle Langley, Dean McAskil, Julia Stafford, Eddie Stowers, and Amy Welsh.

Audience members will find themselves transported to a world full of exotic sights, sounds, and smells as they witness the deception and cruelty of the avaricious Iago as he plots to bring ruin upon Othello's successes.

Proudly sponsored by Ellenbrook Arts and The City of Swan, and featuring guest musicians from KULCHA, Upstart Theatre Company's Shakespeare on the Lake will form part of this year's inaugural Ellenbrook Arts Festival.

Upstart Theatre Company is thrilled to announce that, like last year, entry to this event is FREE!
