A Sri Lankan twist on a classic tale

 A Sinhala translation of William Shakespeare's ‘Othello’ directed by Obinamuni Gamini de Silva is set to take place on 20 October at the Lumbini Theatre.

Performed earlier this year, the timeless classic proved to be a great hit with audiences and is now back again for those who missed out on the first segment.
