Passionate Love in a Prejudiced World

In Shakespeare’s most intimate tragedy, director Bill Rauch explores racism, religious bias, xenophobia, and the more disturbing aspects of relationships in the context of our society’s ongoing struggle with polarizing differences.

Consumed by their bigotry, those who praised the Moorish general Othello’s military successes now reject his marriage to Desdemona. The newlyweds are determined to overcome all obstacles, but Othello’s assignment in an exotic new location draws them into the web of his lieutenant Iago, whose resentment and demons know no bounds.

For a first time listener of the play, I found it really good, really intense, and definitely needed some therapy afterwards….highly recommend the great courses work on the Shakespeare tragedies. Also available on audible, helps put it into context.

This was such a beautiful listen. The sound quality, the sound effects, and the music were all so gorgeously crisp and made me feel like I was sitting in Ashland, Oregon watching this play while drinking mulled wine. Each actors craft was elegantly and powerfully displayed in this recording and are obviously all top notch. Thank you Audible, so much for making this available to me (and others).

Simply Perfection.

This is some of the best acting I've ever heard. I teach high school students and for mist of them this is their 3rd play and is their favorite mainly becasuebthe actors in this version do such a good job with expression and inflection that they make Shakespeare's complex diction understandable. I love this version and the actors who played Othello and Iago were brilliant.

Best version ever

It REALLY helped to hear the inflection and tone of the actors! Although this was a terribly sad storyline, as one of his Tragedies, it was well worth the listen, and our group had an excellent discussing afterward.

Best Way to Understand Shakespeare!
