Shakespeare’s OTHELLO rages to life like never before in an explosive new production starring David Harewood OBE (Homeland, Best of Enemies), Toby Jones OBE (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Detectorists), Caitlin FitzGerald (Succession, Masters of Sex), Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point) and Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob). Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse, Dr Semmelweis, The Grinning Man) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire.

This brand-new production, directed by Tom Morris with music by PJ Harvey, has been hotly anticipated in the press as one of the top plays to see this year.

Set in London across the late 19th and early 20th century, the film focuses on a turning point of the Suffragette campaign for the vote for women, from peaceful protest to aggressive demonstrations. Seen through the eyes of working-class factory worker Maud, newly recruited to the movement despite her husband's disapproval, she is drawn into the underground workings of the organisation as it develops more radical means of protest. Mirrored by government pressure on police to increase surveillance and punishment of the Suffragettes, Maud's faith in the movement is tested to the limits in this breathtaking fictionalisation of true events that changed the course of history.

The film is being screened to honour International Women’s Day. Sarah Gavron, director of 'Suffragette', stated: “International Women’s Day celebrates the achievements of women throughout the world and I am overjoyed that my film can be part of that celebration. The story of the ordinary British women who were willing to sacrifice everything in their fight for the right to vote is an inspiration to all of us in our ongoing fight for equality.”
