 Salamander Shakespeare Co. presents...
The Salamander Shakespeare Co. (formerly known as Shakespeare Young Company) productions are mounted throughout Ottawa in parks in July of each year, and at the National Arts Centre during the last week of July. While younger audiences may enjoy these productions, they are not intended as children’s theatre.
Local businesses, community associations, and recreation groups host the Salamander Shakespeare Co. performances in their communities. Hosting involves providing a venue and arranging for local press coverage and advertising for the show.
If you would like to host a performance, workshop or residency in your school or community, please contact us.

Othello, a black man in a white world, finesses a grand slam. He has won power, might, and now a beauty as his stolen bride. Othello soars until a jealous subordinate threatens his gains. Iago plots an intricate vengeance.
- Sex, race, and violence on Cyprus, the island of love
- PrufRock and Zach Raynor as Othello
- Guy Buller as Iago
Guy's experience as a fighter is pitted against PrufRock's poetry-honed wit and Zach's athleticism. Brilliant actors locked in a struggle of race and wit; the script crackles with electricity. Expect fireworks!
