Get Out Your Handkerchief: "Othello," at the Rock Island Masonic Temple through October 20
by Mike Schulz
I've seen three or four first-rate portrayals of Shakespeare's Othello over the years, and I always marvel at how both the character and the performer seem to literally grow in stature through the course of the play.

Pair of talented actors power Prenzie's 'Othello'
by Ruby Nancy
In “Othello,” Shakespeare’s tragedy about a thwarted love between a celebrated general and the beautiful young woman he adores, a character named Iago manipulates others to accomplish his own ends.
Whether Iago is purely evil or motivated by more familiar human emotions is a common question, and in my experience, the role has been played with an emphasis on the former.
