Royal Shakespeare: Othello

The Royal Shakespeare Company's live theatre production of the Bard's Othello, filmed live on stage in Stratford-upon Avon and broadcast worldwide in cinemas.

"Othello is the greatest general of his age. A fearsome warrior, loving husband and revered defender of Venice against its enemies. But he is also an outsider whose victories have created enemies of his own, men driven by prejudice and jealousy to destroy him. As they plot in the shadows, Othello realises too late that the greatest danger lies not in the hatred of others, but his own fragile and destructive pride. After more than a decade working in film and television on projects from Star Wars to Holby City, Hugh Quarshie returns to the RSC to play Shakespeare's Othello." (RSC)
