Wow. It was awesome. And Iago was played by Tim McInnerny from Black Adder! Jools and I were so excited. Othello was played by Eammon Walker. It was a fantastic performance. We stood the whole time (standing tickets are only £5) in this theatre built to exactly what it was in Shakespeare's time! The original went in the great fire of London, 1666 I ( Read more... )

I always wanted to get a kitten and name him Iago...but was afraid it would jinx things and he would grow up with a not-so-nice personality. I love Othello, sounds like you had an excellent time!

Yes, it was great. Maybe Iago wouldn't jinx him...you never know. What's in a name? haha

Haha, yay! Just start yelling "Why do you think they call it GROUNDlings?! You're on the GROUND!" I am wholeheartedly in support of yelling pedantry of any and all types. Did they do a little dance at the end? We saw Richard II there (I am a wuss and sat on the benches) and they came out at the end and did a little jig! Holy cow I freaked out with happiness and started crying because it was so rad and all historically accurate (and shit). OMG it's almost like it's England! LOVE it there.

I loved yelling stuff. Everyone was looking at me all weird, but I was like...duh...this is what you DO people. Geez. Yes, they did do the dance at the end and I nearly cried with joy myself. Such a dramatic end in Othello of course and then it was all happy and I loved it. I was clapping and jumping and loving it. When you and Jorden come back, we should all go it would be AWESOME!
