Othello

This evening I trekked back to the Angus Bowmer Theatre to see OSF’s production of Othello. As I’ve said before, among all Shakespeare’s tragedies, this one bothers me the most because ultimately a good guy is brought down by a bad guy through exploitation of his weaknesses. Nevertheless, this was a powerful production. The cast was stellar and it was great to see. The primary leads were particularly good. I’m glad I got to get this rescheduled because I would have hated to miss it. Interestingly, there were a significant number of empty seats, which I guess reinforces their exhortations about a number of cancellations due to the fires have caused them to lose a significant amount of money this summer.
