This week Nicholas Koy Santillo is joined by Lucy Atkinson, Lindsay Huebner, Whitton Frank, and Joseph Richardson. During the our discussion of the second act (Where we arrive in Cyprus and begin preparations of revelry and villainy) we discuss:
- Who is this new and wonderful Mr. Richardson?
- Where is Cyprus, really...?
- Follow This Link to see a nice history of the expansion of Chistianity throughout the Baltics and Middle East during the middle ages.
- Cassio's drinking problem.
- Iago's shows of wit and double-faced nature.
- Reputation, reputation, reputation
- The play's two possible timelines & the dramatic practice of 'double-time'.
Note: The quote that Whitton remembered: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself" is attributed to Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's Propaganda minister), among others.
The famous Constantin Stanislavski as Othello for his 1986 performance.
