I thought this was hilarious! Me and my friend had a lot of fun with this. Some great wordplay and laugh out loud moments.

Complete lack of transparency: to only confirm the lack of app to the acts a month before the festival when they knew in December (apparently) is pathetic

Dyer comes across as somewhat arrogant in that interview: "Dyer’s view is that those white directors of previous explorations of Othello “didn’t feel comfortable with being able to articulate the black experience through the piece and so instead they’d just avoid it." That's all white directors of Othello ever apparently. "The production, co-starring Paul Hilton (Slow Horses) as Othello’s nemesis, Iago, will redress an imbalance in many previous versions that has, seemingly, shifted more attention to the scheming Iago. “It’s not called Iago, it’s called Othello,” Dyer insisted." ""He was scathing about a famous 1990 production directed by Trevor Nunn for the Royal Shakespeare Company starring, the great baritone and actor, Willard White as the Moor and Ian McKellen as Iago. There’s also a video version of it. Dyer told Deadline: “I watched that and Ian McKellen is amazing, there’s no two ways about it, but my feeling is that we are allowed to enjoy that performance more readily than Othello’s.” --- Of course on that basis directors should note that it's called The Merchant of Venice, not Shylock. Iago generally does get the starrier casting and more chances to shine though: he may have expressed it better of course, but a version which focuses more on Othello as the focus could be a good thing Giles Teria is an excellent actor as well

Id be interested in how Jack Absolute does, and Crucible. They seem crowd pleasers to that extent
Standing on the Sky Edge ( Well reviewed new musical) could be a hit
Wasnt Corn is Green a word of mouth hit? i thought father and the assassin was excellent, even though commerically seems to be middling
Im a bit more positive about the national than i was a year ago. New stuff seems a better mix

It started a bit late, think around 1 hour and 40 minutes. It needs to pick up the pace. Ah thanks. Was originally down for 3 hours when it went on sale!

Im not sure going 'Woke' ( whatever that means) is the reason for some shows not selling as well as others Sylvia was years ago, and wasnt 3 hours long FFS. It just seems part of their own culture war rubbish they want to make into a thing

Hopefully the next run of plays will get it back to selling out
I like a theatre which takes risks, even if it doesnt 100% work out.

Sounds terrible if they cut out all the scenes with the main bad guy

I thought this was very good for a first performance. No technical issues and the cast seemed on point.
Amy Adams gave a great performance. Very unshowy bur moving. Paul hilton as old tom/narrator was excellent as well
Staging aas very good though not THAT unique.
There is a second platform on stage, so if you do have front row seats, there will be some stuff at the back you will miss(though not much I don't think)
Ran to 2 hours 20 mins, including the interval.

Hi, does anyone happen to know whether day seats will be available for this production? I'm in London for a couple of days next week and was hoping to see the show. Yes, £25 rush tickets will be available through TodayTix Thanks for the head up: got one for tonight. Seems to be front row for rush tickets
