RSC Live Encore Screening: Othello

Hugh Quarshie assumes the demanding lead role in Iqbal Khan’s bravura staging of Shakespeare, which was recorded live on the stage of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. General Othello has valiantly defended Venice from its enemies. When Othello promotes Cassio above his trusted advisor Iago, the scheming right-hand man hatches a diabolical plan to destroy the General.
