The Bard's 'most perfect play' comes to town

The "green-eyed monster, which doth mock" is set to come to life when TNT Theater's production of Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello hits the nation's stage.

After its last tour of 10 Chinese cities in 2009 with Macbeth, TNT Theater returns with Othello, for its longest tour of the country since the theater first came to China in 2007. This time, the tour will cover 17 cities, including Tianjin, Beijing and Guangzhou, over two months.

Founded in 1980 in Britain, and led by director Paul Stebbings, the touring troupe has an international reputation for presenting Shakespeare's major works.
