We’re getting into the swing of things now


Othello @ The Oxford Playhouse

It’s Shakespeare, you know the drill – sex, jealousy, murder, tragedy, etc. Performed by theatre company, Frantic Assembly, who The Times deemed  ‘innovative and progressive’, so it must be worth a watch.

When: Tuesday – Saturday

Where: Oxford Playhouse
