In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare's plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought great performances from leading contemporary actors.

"O beware, my lord, of jealousy: It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on"

When Desdemona defies her senator father to marry Othello, the Moor of Venice seems to have everything - love, friendship, status and respect. But within Othello's great love for his bride lies the seeds of its own destruction. And, from his own ranks, comes the slighted Iago - a maninpulative figure who is pepared to nurture the Moor's misgivings for his own interests ...

Jonathan Miller's magnificent production utilises the indubitable talents of Anthony Hopkins and Bob Hoskins in the lead roles of Shakespeare's theatrical masterpiece. Indeed Hopkins admitted, "Othello is the part I've always most wanted to play." Together they weave an increasingly tense web of manipulation, deception and jealousy on a tragic path to self-understanding. (Verlagstext)
