Othello at the Duke on 42nd Street Theater

It was the riveting photo by Katie Orlinsky in today's New York Times that caught my eye. It portrays Othello (John Douglas Thompson) and Desdemona (Juliet Rylance) in Othello at the Duke on 42nd Street Theater. You must see it! Please click on this link for the photograph:

Then I read the review by Charles Isherwood. Wow! Is this ever a glowing review! Mr. Isherwood says "This is among the most sensitively directed, eloquently designed and impeccably acted productions of a Shakespeare tragedy that the city has seen in years." For the link to the review, please click:
