Sharon D Clarke, Olivier Award-winning star of Othello, is stepping back from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s upcoming production to focus on cancer treatment — a powerful moment as fans and the theatre world rally around her. The groundbreaking, reimagined Othello — set in a future where a Black lesbian holds power — was poised to be a bold new take, but now all tickets are refunded as the RSC plans a replacement. Clarke, calling the play her “north star,” and her wife Susie McKenna have been overwhelmed by community support. Director Monique Touko praised Clarke’s spirit, while fans send healing energy as she faces this challenge with grace.
