Review: Othello (Theatre Royal Haymarket)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ David Harewood leads a striking cast in this urgent and riveting production of Shakespeare's classic tragedy. London in 2025 has already showcased remarkable Shakespearean plays, including Much Ado About Nothing at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Bridge Theatre, both among the finest Bard adaptations I've seen.
As the year nears its end, one more production stands out: Tom Morris’ much-anticipated staging of Othello, a play absent from the West End for some time. This production explores themes of power, rage, and desire, bringing Shakespeare's tale of manipulation, jealousy, and toxic masculinity to life with unprecedented intensity.
"Exploding on stage, raging to life like never before,"
as the production describes itself.
Personally, I had never seen Othello performed before, so I experienced it without preconceptions or comparisons. For me, it is vital to see Shakespeare's works presented in fresh, engaging ways that resonate with modern audiences, especially those who might find the language challenging.
This production of Othello met every expectation, captivating me from opening to final curtain.
Author's summary: This dynamic production of Othello delivers a powerful, fresh interpretation that vividly captures Shakespeare’s themes of jealousy and power, making the classic deeply accessible and compelling.
