My notes

  Heritage Theatre was one of the first production companies to bring plays at the Globe to the larger world of video.
  Viewers of American television will recognize Eamonn Walker from the series on
prison life called "Oz" which ran on HBO for 6 years.  His film and television career is extensive.  Sam Crane later appears as a lead in the Globe's "All's Well That Ends Well."

Tim McKinnery was new to me on first view.  Now we know him for "Outlander,"
"Harlots" and other television performances.  His Iago is like no other.  He is
riveting in the role.

  For your libraries this Othello is available from a variety of sources.  Consider getting the two disk set for libraries and schools  and join me in seeding this file share for those who have less access to media.
