Leaving Cert Live: Othello

Shakespeare in the Grainstore: Othello

‍
We are delighted to welcome the acclaimed Cork Shakespearean company to the Ballymaloe Grainstore this January with a brand-new production of Othello, this year’s Leaving Certificate play. Known for their dynamic, accessible interpretations, the company brings the tragedy to life with sharp clarity, strong performances, and atmospheric staging — making it ideal for students and theatre-goers alike.

‍
Presented on our intimate Grainstore stage, this production offers an engaging, up-close experience of one of Shakespeare’s most famous works, exploring jealousy, deceit, manipulation and racism through the tragic downfall of a celebrated military commander.

‍
Join us for an unforgettable evening of live theatre and a perfect opportunity for students preparing for their exams.

The theatre, up to the year 2000 was based out of the upper floor in Linehan's sweet factory John Redmond Street which is why it gained the moniker "The Loft".
