The beautiful Desdemona defies society and marries Othello,(played by Esau Pritchett) a Moorish general and chooses to follow him to Cyprus where her husband must repulse the invading Turks. But the villainous Iago, a junior officer in Othello’s army, sets out to destroy the lives of the couple for his own selfish gains.
