Emilia Tony Steedman ..... Montano Max Harvey ..... First Gentleman Synopsis:When the young Desdemona defies her 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 !ago - a manipulative figure who is prepared 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 I 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. Iago and a comrade-in-arms are outside the Venice home of Desdemona's father, who does not yet know that she has eloped with Othello. Iago confides to his friend -- who had hoped to marry Desdemona -- that he serves Othello to further his own ends. Venice needs Othello to protect its commercial interests in Cyprus where the Turkish fleet is headed. Desdemona insists on going to Cyprus, too. In Cyprus, Iago plots to convince Othello that Desdemona has betrayed him with Cassio. A lot more than political ambition seems to be motivating Iago Desdemona defies her father to marry the Moor of Venice, the mighty warrior, Othello. But Iago, (Othello's old lieutenant) doesn't like Cassio, (Othello's new lieutenant), and he plans, with the help of his wife Emilia, to destroy both Cassio and Othello through Othello's feelings for Desdemona.
