Othello Tickets

Othello tells the tragic story of a respected Moorish general who secretly marries Desdemona, a Venetian senator's daughter. When Othello promotes Cassio over Iago, the overlooked ensign plots revenge by convincing Othello that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio. Through masterful manipulation involving a handkerchief—Othello's first gift to Desdemona—Iago plants seeds of doubt that grow into murderous jealousy. The play explores how love can transform into destructive obsession, culminating in one of theater's most heartbreaking endings. Each production brings fresh perspectives to this timeless examination of trust, deception, and the devastating consequences of unchecked jealousy.

The runtime of Othello varies depending on the production. Most performances run between 2.5 to 3.5 hours, including one intermission. The exact runtime can vary depending on the director's interpretation and whether any scenes are cut or condensed. Full unabridged versions typically lean toward the longer end of this range, while modern adaptations might streamline certain passages for contemporary audiences. The play's five-act structure naturally builds tension throughout the evening, making the time fly by as you become absorbed in the psychological drama unfolding on stage.

While planning ahead has its perks, waiting until closer to showtime can unlock some serious savings on your Othello tickets. Theater companies and venues want packed houses for every performance, which means prices often drop as curtain time approaches. You might score premium seats at a fraction of the original price by tapping into last-minute deals. Gametime specializes in these eleventh-hour wins, making it easy to catch this Shakespeare classic without the premium price tag. Plus, Gametime's Lowest Price Guarantee means you're always getting the best available deal, whether you're planning weeks ahead or deciding to go tonight.

Yes, most productions of Othello include one intermission. This 15-20 minute break gives you time to stretch, grab refreshments, and process the mounting tension of the first half. The intermission placement is strategic—directors often position it at a dramatic high point that leaves audiences eager to return for the tragic conclusion. Some experimental or shortened versions might run without an intermission, but these are less common. The break also provides a moment to discuss the unfolding drama with your companions before diving back into Shakespeare's masterful exploration of jealousy and betrayal.
