Othello has always been one of my top ten favorite Shakespearean plays. It addresses many of the ills of man, including jealousy, revenge, abuse, and racism.
Great Lakes Theater Festival is known for taking Shakespeare, retaining the language of the plays, and using modern settings. Having Iago and Cassio in Italian army fatigues reinforced the motivating factor of Iago's villainy, his being passed over for the promotion as Othello's lieutenant.
David Alan Anderson in his debut with GLTF wowed the audience. He cut an imposing figure in his dress uniform. It was easy to see why the lovely Desdemona was intrigued by him. Once she saw his gentle, loving side she fell hard and eloped much to the disgust of her father who disowned her.
At times Anderson rivaled Paul Robeson's memorable performance.
