Tabling: Othello Introduction

Othello?

In our introduction episode to Othello (and Tabling: The Podcast's first London recording!) Nicholas Koy Santillo is joined by; Lucy Atkinson, Lindsday Huebner, and Whitton Frank.

After discussing various topics, including podcasts and epic vs. personal theatre, we discuss:

  • The Intimate quality of Othello, especially compared with other works of Shakespeare.
  • Each of our relationship's with the play.
  • The (seemingly?) dominant issue of race.
  • Past and contemporary productions and staging conventions of Othello.
  • Othello's character - his military history, 'other-ness', and use of language.

During this play, we were lucky enough to record out of the Gielgud theatre, in London's West End!
