Description
Performed by * Hugh Quarshie * Anton Lesser * Emma Fielding and full cast Second in Shakespeare's great sequence of tragedies. It differs markedly from the others in its essentially domestic milieu -- the story unfolds with suffocatingly close intensity, unrelieved by the religious or metaphysical context we expect to find. Although a swift-paced play, the emotion-filled action is not lacking. From love and passion, nobility and purity, to deception, tragedy and murder, this widely studied play is one of the best sellers of the Shakespearean canon. * Othello Hugh - Quarshie * Desdemona - Emma Fielding * Iago - Anton Lesser * Emilia - Patience Tomlinson * Cassio/2nd Senator - Roger May * Bianca - Alison Pettit * Duke of Venice/ 2nd Gentleman/Herald Roy Spencer Brabantio/3rd Gentleman/Gratiano - Peter Yapp * Roderigo/1st Gentleman/Sailor - John McAndrew * Lodovico/1st Musician/1st Senator/Messenger - Stephen Thorne * Montano/Messenger/Clown - Jonathan Keeble

Along with Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, Othello is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies. What distinguishes Othello is its bold treatment of racial and gender themes.
