Othello
A bilingual theater production staged by Shanghai Shakespeare, placing classical text in a contemporary retail setting. Performed in both Chinese and English, the show is directed by Ma Tao and produced by Minda Chen, with a small cast and limited seating inside the Glass Room on the fifth floor of Jiuguang Department Store. Running in two periods from late December to early January, the performances favor an intimate, close-up format over a traditional proscenium setup, with the audience positioned in close proximity to the action. Admission is free, but reservations are required due to the size of the space, making it best suited to viewers interested in compact, immersive theater experiences.
