National Theatre Live to Screen OTHELLO at Riverside Theatres, 12-13 Oct.
By: Tyler Peterson
The National Theatre presents a major new production of William Shakespeare's Othello, a celebrated play about the destructive power of jealousy. This classic is screening at Riverside Theatres from Saturday, 12 till Sunday, 13 October as part of Riverside Screen.
Olivier Award-winning actor Adrian Lester (Henry V at The National Theatre, BBC's Hustle) takes the title role. Playing opposite him as the duplicitous Iago is fellow Olivier Award-winner Rory Kinnear (The Last of the Haussmans, James Bond: Skyfall), who is reunited with director Nicholas Hytner(Timon of Athens, One Man, Two Guvnors) following their acclaimed collaboration on The National Theatre's recent production of Hamlet. Othello, newly married to Desdemona - who is half his age - is appointed leader of a major military operation. Iago, passed over for promotion by Othello in favour of the young Cassio, persuades Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair.Bookings: Riverside Box Office on 8839 3399 or www.riversideparramatta.com.au.
