FOLGER SHAKESPEARE Collection

The World’s Leading Middle for Shakespeare Research

The Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world’s largest Shakespeare collection, provides Othello to life with this new full-length, full-cast dramatic recording of its definitive Folger Model.

In Othello, Shakespeare creates powerful drama from a married relationship between the spectacular Moor Othello and the Venetian female Desdemona. Shakespeare builds many differences into his hero and heroine, including competition, age, and cultural background. However most viewers believe the couple’s solid love would conquer these differences were it not for Iago, who models out to kill Othello.

This new full-cast recording-based around the most respected edition of Shakespeare’s classic-expertly made by the Folger Theatre, is ideal for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.
