WEDNESDAY 18 MARCH 2026
OTHELLO
Venue: The Nutshell
7.30pm
In a world that punishes vulnerability and devours beauty, Discarded Nut rips into Shakespeare’s most devastating tragedy, exposing razor-sharp insights on toxic power, race, and human fallibility. Visually arresting, brutally honest, and emotionally explosive, Othello is a fearless exploration of what happens when we’re driven to the edge. DNTCo. is a Winchester-based professional theatre company known for trailblazing performances that champion emerging talent and DNYT alumni, with a fearless approach to classic texts that is both theatrically compelling and educationally enriching. By bringing these stories to life in ways that are relevant and exciting, we create work that resonates deeply with today’s audiences and underscores the enduring importance of storytelling and live theatre for all.
