Othello RE:MX takes place in a post-apocalyptic, industrial setting. This much-shortened version of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy concentrates on the background of Othello and relationship between Othello and Iago. Things start to go wrong when Desdemona and Cassio appear on the scene and they all career towards a climactic finish through their dystopian setting against a backdrop of industrial electronic music, digital dreams and dark landscapes. The piece incorporates dance, poignant snippets of Shakespeare’s text, creative captions and BSL.

Starring a black, gender-fluid Othello, we bring the story bang up to date as social commentary of our times. Is this the future of theatre?

Step into our circle and peel back the layers of this riotous, narrative cabaret. Blending theatre, dance, circus, and over 100 delightfully destroyed onions, Wild Onion brings three queer best friends together to explore and grow their chosen family.

As Daisy loses her sense of self in the midst of family secrets, Rach attempts to manage her fear of men, and Adam tries to make himself cry on a cyr wheel.

A ‘highly recommended show’ by FringeReview, described as ‘A right-rollicking night out,’ where the best tears are onion tears, and we guarantee not a dry eye in the house.

All destroyed onions will be composted at a local community garden
