My wife + I have tix to see Othello, which I've never enjoyed. But last night, on the same stage, we saw @AmericanMoor, which pushes so intensely into a dialogue w/the play's failings, its potential, + the authority of whiteness in theater.....it's now all eyes on this production

Let me know your thoughts on this Othello. We hosted
@AmericanMoor at@pomonacollege two nights ago and I took my students to see Othello last night. I have sooooooo many thoughts. I’ve also never seen a good production.#ShakeRace2 vastausta 1 uudelleentwiittaus 5 tykkäystä -

I also think you have to cast a powerful actor as Othello because he doesn't have as much textual interiority. If he lacks the lines, then he has to have the presence. Most Othellos I've seen have lacked that. 3/3

Last comment:you started with your teacher. Love how
