What does Othello have to say to a modern audience?
TheatreiNQ’s production of Othello (September 2019) reinterprets certain aspects of its eponymous character’s identity to forge a tragedy as topical now as when it was first performed.
Othello is my favorite Shakespeare play. The way the text handles the problems of jealousy, trust, and sexual obsession make it a consistent port of call when thinking about anything related to the complexity and danger of human desire.
There are some intriguing new adaptations of Shakespeare coming out at the moment.
