Othello

Staged: the origins of YA’s greatest tropes

  • William Shakespeare



STAGED: Timeless tropes, enduring stories - a new Puffin Classics collection

‘Farewell the tranquil mind; farewell content.’

Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of jealousy and miscommunication.

Jealousy is a hell of a drug.

After being passed over for promotion, the envious flag-bearer Iago begins a vicious campaign of whispers against his leader, the famed Black Venetian General, Othello. As Iago’s manipulation spins ever-wider, Othello becomes increasingly entangled in his web of lies.

As Othello’s passion is turned against him, he is driven to the edge. To ruin. To murder.

Offering the complete and unabridged text, set in a dyslexic-friendly font and introduced by renowned YA authors, this beautifully designed collection is the perfect way to introduce YA readers to Shakespeare's most iconic stories.
