Othello
The greatest Othello ever by the greatest actor of our time.
An actual performance of the National Theatre of Great Britain.
Love, sex... and jealousy. When passion and suspicion combine and ignite, they can only lead to tragedy. In this classic production starring Lawrence Olivier and Maggie Smith, William Shakespeare's tale spins a web of half-truths, betrayal and deceit that enflame envy into murderous rage.

This is one of Shakespear's works I have always somehow avoided so I looked forward to finally experiencing it... I lasted about 10 minutes as this is pretty much just done on a soundstage and Olivier just looks ridiculous (not to mention offensive)in blackface make-up. This is only 40 years old but it is nice to see that we have at least come to the conclusion that this type of thing is not ok.... it just felt like a joke.
