Othello starring David Harewood, Toby Jones and Caitlin FitzGerald Review
Tom Morris’ contemporary revival runs at Theatre Royal Haymarket until 17 January Toby Jones (Iago), Caitlin FitzGerald (Desdemona) and David Harewood (Othello) in Othello In 1997, David Harewood was – shamingly, given the lateness of the date – the first Black actor to play Othello at the National Theatre.

This new highlights album – recorded live from the sound desk – manages exactly that. While Lloyd’s production was a riot of directorial flair and visual audacity, this release strips everything back to what lies at its heart: the performers’ voices. Rachel Zegle
