­Verdi’s opera Otello is about a ma­n who claims to have "loved not wisely, but too well." But, was it love that drove him to murder his wife, Desdem­ona, or a need for control?

Theresa Singleton, YWCA

Kelly Mengelkoch, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Sherman Fracher, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

When: Thursday, ­March 4, 2010, 7:00 p.m.
