BBC Hugh Quarshie Remembers Othello 1080p HDTV x265-MVGroup
Hugh Quarshie looks back on his highly praised interpretation of Othello in the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2015 production, directed by Iqbal Khan. He considers the extra responsibility a black actor must take on with a role that for centuries was played only by white performers wearing make-up. He recalls how he made the decision to join the cast after years of turning the play down and examines the frequently asked question 'Is Othello a racist play?', drawing on his experiences playing the Moor of Venice for his own conclusion.
