“Electrifying” Toby Jones drama with “stellar” performances confirms UK cinema release date

by

The acclaimed theatre production of Shakespeare’s Othello, featuring Toby Jones, is coming to UK cinemas on March 4, 2026. The production also stars David Harewood, Caitlin FitzGerald, Vinette Robinson, and Luke Treadaway.

This theatre production, directed by Tom Morris and featuring music by PJ Harvey, was filmed live at London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket. It’s a powerful story about how manipulation, jealousy, and harmful ideas about masculinity can take hold, and it delves into the dangerous consequences of unchecked power, anger, and longing.

Othello has achieved great success and is highly respected. However, his life begins to unravel when one man’s intense jealousy and lies ignite a destructive chain of events, damaging Othello’s reputation and ultimately driving him to madness.
