Othello
this weekend in London

"Absolutely phenomenal performance. All around 11/10!!! I study Othello at A-level so this was an amazing experience to see an adaptation like this which explored the emotion and themes of Othello so well. Very impressive modern adaptation which made the play feel as alive, fresh and relevant as it would've over 400 years ago on the Globe stage. Acting was just.... wow. I was so emotionally moved even when i knew the play inside out and i knew what was coming. I am completely in awe of all the effort put into this production; the actors and actresses, set designers, costume designers, directors, composers, musicians. Just incredible!!! Loved the atmosphere inside the theatre with the audience too, you could feel the collective emotion from the laughs we shared to the shocked silence on the edge of our seats. Amazing."

"I went to see othello on 30th March 2024. I did enjoy the play and the actors did a wonderful job. I would have preferred if the actors were all dressed in the Shakespeare era clothes as opposed to modern clothing, I feel that would have allowed me to be more immersed in the play."

"An excellent adaptation. The theatre is exceptional and the production makes good use of its available space."

"Wonderful adaptation with live music I cannot get out of mind."

"A really wonderful performance and a positive experience."

"Brilliant performance by all the cast, absolutely gripping and brilliantly staged from start to finish. There was not a single weak performance from any member of the cast. However the seats in the theatre are not fit for purpose, so incredibly uncomfortable it was almost too uncomfortable to stay! If it had not been for the quality of the show I would not have stayed."

"Very nice production. Great actors. Contemporary and powerful."

"Attended the show with daughter studying the book for her A level. Excellent value for money. Superior acting."

"As a contemporary version of Othello it works well for a young audience however I felt it was somewhat dumbed down with much of Shakespeare's wonderful dialogue replaced and modernised. Good to see the cast comprising such young enthusiastic actors but subtlety of expression was often missing hence it seemed a bit 'shouty' at times. The Wanamaker theatre itself is wonderful to experience and overall it was enjoyable."

"A contemporary spin on the classic with mostly original text. Simple to follow, engaging and high quality of acting. Small space"

"give me much inspiration"
