Othello
|
September 18, 1943 |
| Margaret Webster and the Theatre Guild's presentation of Othello, starring Paul Robeson in the title role, Uta Hagen as Desdemona, and Jose Ferrar as Iago, in what would become Broadway's longest running staging of the Shakespearean classic at 296 performances. It was a particularly unusual performance in that the role of the Moor, Othello, was played by an African-American on a Broadway stage. It received rave reviews, lauding Robeson, Ferrar, and Hagen equally. |
