The Royal Shakespeare Company has postponed its production of “Othello,” with Sharon D. Clarke set to play the title role, so the actor can undergo treatment for cancer.

The show had been scheduled to run Feb. 13 through April 3, 2027, at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Touko’s staging reimagines the Shakespeare tragedy with a focus on misogynoir.
