Plays normalize dramatic monologues in everyday discourse, from telling a friend how much they mean to you to expressing your dire need for someone to pass the mashed potatoes. Get dramatically inspired with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get two general-admission tickets to the production of Othello by Throughline Theatre Company at Seton Center in Brookline (up to a $20 value). The play runs July 28, July 29, August 4, and August 5 at 8 p.m., and July 30 and August 6 at 5:30 p.m.
Established by a group of seven theatrically dedicated friends, the recently inaugurated Throughline Theatre Company stages ambitious productions of both famed and upcoming works within Seton Center’s sizeable 300-seat theater. Shakespeare's Othello unfurls its tangible drama across the main stage, imbuing theatergoers with an in-depth glimpse into the tale of love, tragedy, and betrayal usually only reserved for epic playground battles over the seesaw. In keeping with its innovative spirit, Throughline has cast actress Molly Maclagan to play the traditionally male role of Iago, the duplicitous schemer who wreaks havoc in the lives of the titular character and his true love, Desdemona. Watch the cringing downfall of the doomed Moor of Venice while stealing sideways glances at possibly treacherous audience members.
