featuring Keith Hamilton Cobb, Terrance MacNamara, Koppany Pusztai, and Emily Rankin

“For since these arms of mine had seven years’ pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle.” —Othello

What happened in the nine months before the start of Shakespeare’s Othello? Keith Hamilton Cobb presents a deep exploration of the intricacies of the relationships between ot’Teo, Desdemona, Desdemona’s father Brabantio, and Michael Cassio.

London, 1833. The trail-blazing black American actor Ira Aldridge has an offer to take over the role of Othello in the Covent Garden production.

“Chakrabarti has crafted a rich psychological study that’s also a shrewd portrait of the theatre as an institution — its vanities and strange conventions, its politics and sense of community, the opportunities it presents for both progress and blinkered traditionalism.” Evening Standard
