This 80 minute rap adaptation of
one of Shakespeare's greatest stories
was powerful in 2018
and has even more resonance
and explosive energy at this moment.

Because of COVID-19,
the company allowed us to license the show
for streaming for 10 days in July 2019

What's The word?

"... a thing to behold...
​I was mesmerized by the talent of its four stars....
The impact of this lyrical, rhythmic, emotional play can't be described well enough to do it justice.
You have to see it."
- Las Cruces Bulletin Publisher Richard Coltharp

Mark Medoff called our 2018 production
"riveting" and "blazing."

"Josh, Julian, Juan and Mark
are attractive and compelling
just standing still, but
'Othello: The Remix'
lets each one show off his skills and versatility
as an actor, singer, dancer and rap artist
with individual and collective
grace, style and energy."
-Mike Cook, Las Cruces Bulletin Review

OTHELLO: The Remix Response session


Hosted & Filmed on Sunday July 19th, 2020 via ZOOM

Scaffolding hosted a special conversation about our production of OTHELLO: The Remix. Beginning with a discussion about this Q Brothers' adaptation of OTHELLO, the performers discussed their thoughts on this story centered on “otherness" and the experience of being part of the production. 

Amara Brady, an advocate of anti-racist theatre helped us dive into a broader conversation about diversity and equity. (https://www.amarajanaebrady.com/)

As FUN HOME playwright Lisa Kron states, “You can tell a story in which everybody in the world is the same and everything in the world is just like everything else. Or you can tell a story about how things are not the same, and yet equally human.” We're committed to doing the latter.

​You can see the all fourteen videos of the conversation by clicking here:
