Othello too hangs helplessly on the overpowering false persuasions of Pachoda's Iago. Curt Anderson is an Othello of imposing appearance but with a somewhat lesser capacity for tortured response to Iago's calculated hints. But if it weren't that Othello's peculiar virtue is trust in other men--and his peculiar vice to distrust his own feelings in the unfamiliar pursuit of love--the battle wouldn't be worth the fighting. Iago so overpowers the Moor that pity keeps us on Othello's side much longer than hope. Though he plays with just enough confidence and grace...
