Even though I think I saw what might have been an almost perfect Othello at the Duke last month, I'm still very interested in seeing this.

The entire season looks interesting enough that I might actually subscribe this year.

This is their mainstage season. Hoffman would mos likely be at Joe's Pub. Besides, she's in Adams Family.

Ugh. PSH as Iago. Couldn't care less. Saved myself the cost of a ticket and the waste of about three hours.

D'oh! I was hoping for Jackie Hoffman.

Ha! That was my first thought as well...I saw the title and immediately jumped to Jackie Hoffman as Desdemona. I don't think I'd be able to blame Othello for holding the pillow over her face.
