About
The current production - the eighth at this venue - is by Adrian Noble, who, together with his set designer Dick Bird, moves the action to the beginning of the 20th century in order to shed light on the tensions arising from the opposition between the local population and the foreign Venetian military power against the backdrop of colonialism. Additional sources of inspiration for the production for Noble and Bird were the artistic explorations of Scandinavian playwrights and painters on the subject of jealousy, which Shakespeare once classified as the most dangerous human emotion.
