Othello
BBC Audio CD available from 4th March 2010
The BBC Radio 4 production with Lenny Henry who won the Evening Standard's Best Newcomer Award for his stunning performance as the tortured Moor. Produced by Northern Broadsides and West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2009 this acclaimed production toured the country before arriving in London's West End where Henry received rave reviews.
Featuring the cast from the West End production and with original music from Conrad Nelson, who also plays Iago, this mesmerising radio drama grips the listener from start to tragic finish.
`Impossible to praise too highly Henry's courage in taking on so demanding and exposed a role, and then performing it with such authority and feeling' - Daily Telegraph
