Othello (Dramatized)

By: William Shakespeare

Narrated by: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ewan McGregor, Kelly Reilly

Shakespeare's Othello is one of his finest and most famous tragedies. This highly acclaimed performance, which ran between November 2007 and February 2008 at the Donmar Warehouse in London, features Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Moor Othello, Ewan McGregor as the scheming Iago, and Kelly Reilly as the gentle Desdemona. This recording features music written specifically for the stage production which enjoyed huge success - each performance was a sell-out.

Excellent

I turned this on during a solo road trip expecting to be mildly entertained -- but I ended up listening to it all in one sitting without pausing. It's so well acted. The voices are clear and the actors are great. 10/10.

You will fall in love

This is the way I wish all audio books are and sets the bar very high. Amazing performance, great listen, better than watching a movie.

Star studded cast delivers

This was a star-studded cast and a full staged production. You can tell from the performance how well the craft of acting was done a service by their performance.

Excellent Production!

This is a fantastic production of Othello! Very good opportunity to revisit a classic play.

Excellent adaptation - wonderful cast!

What did you love best about Othello (Dramatized)?

The performances were all excellent I thought! As always, choices are made about what to cut out, but it was done well.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I'm not sure in this era of audiobooks why you would read Shakespeare any other way! I read the plays a lot in my youth, but this play really sings when you hear the lines spoken.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I didn't but I certainly could have.

Any additional comments?

A way to hear many favorite actors on audio.
