Othello, a soldier of great reach and a newly married man, seems to be in a remarkable position. However, when his supposed friend plants doubts in his mind about his wife's faithfulness, he is gradually consumed by suspicions. In this tragedy of strange, elegant beauty and remarkable psychological power, innocence is destroyed and goodness and happiness are obliterated. Used and recommended by the National Theatre.
