In these conversations, playwright and Woordfees director, Saartjie Botha, and other experts talk to theatre makers responsible for some of the most exciting productions at this year’s festival.

This acclaimed presentation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy is not without controversy. Othello explores themes of racism, manipulation, love, and the destructive effects of doubt and misunderstanding. Professor Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela talks to director Lara Foot and some of the cast.
