I don’t always know why I like this story so much when such terrible things happen but I do love it a lot and I think Verdi’s opera tells the story of Shakespeare’s play really well.

OTHELLO (American Shakespeare Center/Blackfriars Playhouse/BlkFrsTV)*****

Available until: You can buy this on its own or in a package with A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Twelfth Night or you can buy all 3 together at a discount which sounds like buy 2, get 1 free. If you buy a package, you have two weeks to watch it. I’m not sure about if you only buy one.

A lot of theatre companies don’t just put on plays – they have their own identity as a theatre. A big part of the American Shakespeare Center’s identity seems to be music. They performed songs in character both at the start of the play and during the interval.

Sofa Shakespeare is a fun idea, but their productions are always well put together and of a very high standard. This production of Othello features only actors from the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) community.

Available until: 7pm EDT on 16^th August which I think is midnight between the 16^th and 17^th August in the UK.

I love Othello. It’s one of my favourite plays. The title role is one of my favourite characters. A character I’d love to play. But after watching this play… I don’t know anymore. I don’t know if I still love it. And if I do, is that wrong?

I loved this so much! Othello was my first ever Shakespeare play and I love it and I was really looking forward to this. My granny gave me a children’s book which was the story of Othello and I thought it was so sad but so good. I really liked all the characters and I read it again and again and then my mum bought me the play. It has the play on the right-hand pages and on the left-hand pages it says what all the difficult words and phrases mean.
