  • I've never thought of Zoe Tapper as a bloke before!!!

    The acting style is how it would have been in Elizabethan theatre, which is the point of the Globe. Naturalism comes a little later than the 16th/17th Century.

  • still dont like it.. i wouldnt play it like that

  • Right. So the original acting conventions are wrong? Someone should have a word with Shakespeare!

  • Zoe Tapper plays an excellent Nell Gwynne in 'stage beauty' too =]

  • She's just so damn good. She was even good in "Demons". Only thing that was mind you. I reckon that she would be rather good as the new "Dr.Who" girl.

  • Oh my God! I've looked everywhere to find a video about this version of Othello. Zoë playing Desdemona was just amazing as well as Eamon Walker. Thank you for uploading it!

  • I'm playing othello in our competition piece and i use this to bring my confidence down. lol i always mess up at the "huge eclipse of sun and moon" part :( tough to remember...

  • His voice makes me a little sleepy. It's smooth and pleasant, even with the emotion added in.

  • when was this performed?

  • he looks good but his voice and talent are greatly lacking here, he has no NOBILITY or sense of being royal. he plays this weak

  • hi,.. i love this drama.

    how can i get see all? from act 1 - act 5.

    can you upload it? please!!!!!!!!

  • I prefer Olivier's Venusian 'green' Othello.

  • @fingirl87 I wouldn't agree with that. Honestly I think this is played out stronger that the Othello I watched at the theatre. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.. are you an better actress/actor than these? Sure thing...

    Anyways, the strong acting here is way better that the "post-modern"/post-minimaltic way of the play I saw, so compared - this would be a piece of cold while the other coal.

  • where can i watch this entire production online. i cant seem to find it any where can someone help me???

  • Here's a story of a brotha by the name of Othello

    He liked white women and he liked...green jello.
