Othello. Young Actors in Training
Description
It might be seen as racist, antifeminist, perhaps even militaristic, depending on one's ideology. For Shakespeare, there were likely no such scruples. He borrowed the plot from a 16th-century Italian poet, along with, possibly, a geographical history of Africa and a translation of the Roman historian Pliny. But out of those scholastic ingredients he fashioned one of the most entrancing, agonizing studies of jealousy in the whole of English literature. This program accompanies young drama students as they rehearse, perform, and discuss Act IV, Scene 3 - a foreboding segment near the end of the play.
