Residents in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, will have the chance to watch a high-profile production of William Shakespeare’s Othello at the Bonington Theatre this March. The venue will host special filmed-live screenings of the play on Wednesday, 4 March and Sunday, 8 March 2026. This local event allows the community to see a major London performance without having to travel to the city centre or pay expensive ticket prices.
The Othello screenings feature well-known actors David Harewood OBE in the lead role and Toby Jones OBE as Iago. The performance was originally filmed at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London and includes music composed by PJ Harvey. It was directed by Tom Morris OBE, who is also known for his work on the stage production of War Horse.
Tickets for the event are priced at £12.50, offering an affordable option for local theatre fans. The Bonington Theatre is located inside the Arnold Leisure Centre and is owned and managed by Gedling Borough Council. The screenings are part of a global release, meaning local audiences will see the production at the same time as people in major cities around the world.
