Frantic Assembly- Othello- The Lyric, Plymouth Theatre Royal


A masterful performance, portrayed with absolute conviction and more than a splash of gusto. This shakespeare was far from traditional, and received a well-deserved standing ovation. My friends and I came out raving about it.

The scenery was fantastic and I particularly loved the way in which the walls were manouverable, giving the stage diversity and interest. A magical moment was the drunken scene, in which the walls moved, giving the audience a similar feeling of drunkenness.

I would highly recommend this performance. A work of art, captivating. The shakespearean tenor simply vibrating around the room and tumbling fluidly out of the mouths of the actors. Wonderful.

10/10
