Shakespeare's Othello is one of his finest and most famous tragedies. This highly acclaimed performance, which ran between November 2007 and February 2008 at the Donmar Warehouse in London, features Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Moor Othello, Ewan McGregor as the scheming Iago, and Kelly Reilly as the gentle Desdemona. This recording features music written specifically for the stage production which enjoyed huge success - each performance was a sell-out.

1. Why does Iago hate Othello so much? It is just because Othello is black?
2. There are three main women characters and they are all called “whore” throughout the performance. Is Shakespeare sexist or making a commentary?
3. Why is Othello so quick to believe that Desdamona had sex with Cassio? Is it connected to his internalized racism?
4. Why does everyone implicitly trust Iago? Sure, he keeps telling everyone that he is trustworthy, but other than that, he seems to be full of bologna.

What did you love best about Othello (Dramatized)?
The performances were all excellent I thought! As always, choices are made about what to cut out, but it was done well.What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I'm not sure in this era of audiobooks why you would read Shakespeare any other way! I read the plays a lot in my youth, but this play really sings when you hear the lines spoken.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I didn't but I certainly could have.Any additional comments?
A way to hear many favorite actors on audio.Excellent adaptation - wonderful cast!
