Hugh Quarshie discusses the character - Othello - in Iqbal Khan's production of Othello with the Royal Shakespeare Company.Indeed Othello is his own man: dignified, battle-tested, commanding of respect. Yet, not all is well in Venice, and one Iago proves that the best of men can be taken down. His undoing of Othello is the stuff of tragedy.
William Shakespeare is peerless in literature, drama and poetry. His plays are often a difficult read, though, even for native English speakers. This has contributed, I feel, to an oversight and under-appreciation for the wisdom he has offered for centuries. So in ST! I endeavor to engage, entertain and educate a modern day audience.
