The Othello presented here is a controversial and powerful interpretation of Shakespeare's tragedy by South African-born actress Janet Suzman. The production was a first in many respects: it marked Janet Suzman's debut as a director for both the stage and television; and it saw the first time an African actor has been cast in the title role, opposite a white actress as Desdemona, in a major production of the play, performed in front of a multi-racial audience in South Africa.
Suzman's Othello proved an enormous success from its first performance at The Market Theatre in Johannesburg - one of the few multi-racial venues in South Africa in 1987, provoking strong reactions from the audiences and the community at large. The performance features Tony Award-winner John Kani as Othello and Joanna Weinberg as Desdemona, in a production that was fresh, raw and all the more powerful for the context in which it was performed.
Also included in the programme is a brief contextual introduction written and presented by Janet Suzman, explaining how this production came about and the significance of Shakespeare's great tragedy for South Africa at the time of the production.
