Description

Hold your hands,
Both you of my inclining, and the rest.
Were it my cue to fight, I should have known
it
Without a prompter.
(Act 1, scene 2)
How now, my lord.
I have been talking with a suitor here,
A man that languishes in your displeasure.
(Act III, Scene 3)
Othello
By means of a bi-level stage the miniature Theatre
III was transformed into an Elizabethean stage for Shakespeare's Othello. In the drama of the noble Moor, Othello,
a man of virtue, but a victim of jealousy, is tormented
by theatre's most despicable villain, Iago, into believing
Iago's tale that Othello's wife, Desdemona, has been unfaithful to him, Shakespeare unfolds to us a truly "tragic
hero."
The "Bard's" characters came alive in resplendent costumes on an outstanding set designed by director-producer,
Wayne Loui, with art work by Tom Choteau and lighting
designed by Mike Nolan.
Of the performers, Richard Watkins as Iago was
outstanding for his portrayal of the villain was most convincing. Also noteworthy was the impassioned performance of Dennis Dineen as Othello and the fragile Desdemona as interpreted by Judith Heitz. Supporting roles
were ably played by Silver Richards, Thomas Hogue,
Richard Marriott and Thomas Joyce.
Touch me not so near.
I had rather have this tongue cut off from my mouth
Than it should do offence to Michael Cassio.
(Act II, scene 3).
I pray you hear her speak,
If she confess that she was half the wooer,
Destruction on my head, if my bad blame
Light on the man.
(Act I, scene 3)
