'O'thou Othello, that was once so good, fall'n in the practice of a damned slave, what shall be said to thee?' When the noble Othello wins the love of Desdemona and secretly marries her, he creates hostility in those around him. Under the malign influence of the villainous Iago, Othello comes to believe that Desdemona has been unfaithful to him, love turns to murderous hate, nobility degenerates into cruelty, and events move swiftly to their inevitable conclusion. Frank Silvera, Cyril Cusack and Alan Bates lead a distinguished cast in a powerful performance directed by Howard Sackler.
