Day 36: New Play Tuesday! Othello, the Moor of Venice

Laurence Fishburne as Othello (1995)

I'm excited to read this one for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it'll give me an excuse to finally see Othello (1995) and O (2001). I've never read this one, but it looks complex and sexy and scary. Yay!

Plus, my partner Mike is very excited to read this because he did not like The Merchant of Venice very much, so he's planning to imagine all of the action of Othello happening in a different, less whiny region of Venice.
