Othello by CAST: A Sold-Out Hit Returns for a Limited Run in Manila

Company of Actors in Streamlined Theatre (CAST) aims to present theatrical performances in the most intimate and cost effective way possible, enabling us to offer our tickets at a more affordable price to meet the economic challenges of our day and keep our doors open to new audiences just discovering the wonderful world of theatre.

After a sold-out run and several extensions accompanied by rave reviews, Othello is back! Directed by Nelsito Gomez, Shakespeare's timeless tale of love, deception, and jealousy resonates powerfully in 2025.

Othello follows the tragic story of a Moorish general who falls victim to the manipulations of his envious ensign, Iago, leading him to believe that his beloved wife, Desdemona, is unfaithful—resulting in devastating consequences.

We are delighted to announce that many original cast members will reprise their roles, including Tarek El Tayech as Othello, Gab Pangilinan as Desdemona, Maronne Cruz as Emilia, and Reb Atadero as Iago. Also returning are Rafael Jimenez as Rodrigo, Dippy Arceo as Bianca, MC Dela Cruz as the Duke of Venice/Lodovico, and Jaime Del Mundo as Brabantio.

Joining the cast is the talented Brian Sy as Cassio. An award-winning actor of remarkable skill, Brian promises to deliver an unforgettable performance that will captivate audiences.

Completing the creative team are D Cortezano for lighting design, Myke Salomon for sound design, Sarah Facuri for production design, and Missy Maramara for Intimacy Direction.
