In our introduction episode to Othello (and Tabling: The Podcast's first London recording!) Nicholas Koy Santillo is joined by; Lucy Atkinson, Lindsday Huebner, and Whitton Frank. After discussing various topics, including podcasts and epic vs. personal theatre, we discuss: The Intimate quality of Othello, especially compared with other works of Shakespeare. Each of our relationship's with the play. The (seemingly?) dominant issue of race. Past and contemporary productions and staging conventions of Othello. Othello's character - his military history, 'other-ness', and use of language. During this play, we were lucky enough to record out of the Gielgud theatre, in London's West End!
