Becoming Othello

A personal, poignant and powerful story of perseverance, tragedy, triumph—and ultimately unconditional love.

What the Critics Say:

Byrd’s life as a single mother and as an artist provide her with the grounding and depth necessary to inhabit Othello, but it is the willing bravery to share her unseen truths that most resonates with her audiences.

“Byrd has limitless charisma” … “a prodigiously gifted author” … “Like Hal Holbrook’s Mark Twain Tonight! or John Gielgud’s Ages of Man, it’s the kind of solo show that an actor so inclined can spend the rest of his or her life playing in every corner of the English-speaking world.” Terry Teachout, Drama Critic, The Wall Street Journal
