Within the Delhi based English theater group, a crisis in the personal and professional relationships of the actors is doomed to make a mockery of their attempts to stage Othello. Shakespeare's central motifs of jealousy in love, and prejudice due to cultural differences, closely resemble what is happening among the cast and the play starts to amplify and precipitate their problems towards a tragic conclusion. Yet is it in fact the spirit of the play that is doing this? SYNOPSIS A multicultural theater company in today’s New Delhi is staging a production of Shakespeare’s Othello. The director takes a bold step by casting an inexperienced small town actor as Othello. The new actor falls in love with the leading lady, who is also the director’s love-interest, and the two men become bitter rivals. Things become even more complicated as the actors’ theatrical personae start to seep into their lives outside the theater.
