DIR ECTOR’S NOTES
Since the move to our current space at the Patty and Jay Baker Theater Complex, The Rep has presented seven Shakespeare productions. After an absence of five years, it is extremely exciting and gratifying to bring “the Bard,” along with one of his most beloved tragedies, back to the Quadracci Powerhouse stage. Delving into this play, I have found that Othello is one of Shakespeare’s most relatable stories for a modern audience. The themes of love, jealousy and power are at the heart of this text. Although epic in scale, Othello is essentially a domestic drama void of the numerous subplots found in many of Shakespeare’s other plays. It hits at the core of humanity, the brutality of man and the potential for that brutality. The choice to set this production in the midst of a motorcycle club came to me almost 20 years ago. Since encountering them at a young age, I have held an affinity and fascination for motorcycles and the lifestyle that accompanies riding them. I had always felt that Othello was a good fit for the worldview shared by these bikers. This being the hometown of Harley-Davidson, it made sense that it was the perfect time to bring the concept into fruition. Harley-Davidson has graciously provided the bikes that you will see on stage this evening. The world of the motorcycle club is extremely compatible with the Venetian setting Shakespeare created. The hierarchy and political structure found in motorcycle clubs is virtually indistinguishable to those found in the original text. It is important to point out that in choosing to set this production within a motorcycle club, we do so with great respect to the many clubs found throughout the world. While our production takes place in a contemporary setting, we have maintained Shakespeare’s original language and poetry, and I hope that you find these beautiful words, written over four hundred years ago, still ring true and propel this extraordinary and timeless tale.
