Not Playing the Victim
The Irish World discusses the play Othello, focusing on the love story between Desdemona and Othello.
We rehearsed the first half of the play for the first few weeks and the way that we’re doing it particularly, we’ve really leaned into the love story between Desdemona and Othello.
The first half of the play is described as joyful and fun, but the tone shifts in the second half.
Holding both of those things at the same time is a challenge but I think we’re up for it.
The actor shares their passion for Shakespeare, having studied it at RADA, and expresses their dream of performing in London.
I’ve never had a crack at Desdemona but doing Shakespeare in London is my life dream.
