An intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction, Othello is arguably Shakespeare’s most topical and accessible tragedy.
In this tale of suspicion and betrayal, Desdemona’s love for her husband Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice. But his trusted ensign, the envious Iago, conspires to devastate their lives. The play raises uncomfortable and pertinent questions about both racial identity and sexuality, as Othello and Desdemona’s relationship becomes the voyeuristic site of Iago’s attempt to destroy them.
This edition is illustrated throughout by Sir John Gilbert, and includes an introduction by Ned Halley.
