Review

'Frantic Assembly breathe new life into Shakespeare's tale... in Scott Graham's pulse-racing production' * Time Out *'A fierce reimagining of Shakespeare's tragedy' * The Times *'Pulsating... hurls Othello well and truly into our times' * Independent *'There is nothing polite about Frantic Assembly's Othello. No prettified classic, it is vulgar, tough and fractious... brings out the primal passions in Shakespeare's play... it is urgent, abrasive and thrilling' * Guardian *'Exhilarating... explodes into life... The visual storytelling is sharp and contemporary without ever losing the essence of the story itself... an adaptation done right... an excellent introduction to Shakespeare' * Reviews Hub *
