Jimmy Akingbola is to play the title role in Frantic Assembly’s 21st century adaptation of Othello, which comes to the Lyric Hammersmith from 4 to 22 November (press night 6 November). Read more
Fusing a taut adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy with its trademark hard-hitting choreography, Frantic Assembly takes a scalpel to 21st century Britain, exposing prejudice, danger and fear.
This is a world of broken glass and beatings in the car park. There is tension around the pool table, cues in hand. And it is all about to kick off…
Vivid and dynamic, Frantic Assembly returns to the Lyric Hammersmith with its distinct physical style that mixes movement, design, text and cinematic soundtracks. Recent work includes Stockholm, Dirty Wonderland, and Pool (No Water).
