...downhill from there. When the lights come back on, lago (Erik Amblad) talks to Roderigo (Paul Siemens) over a game of chess. lago, Shakespeare's lines reveal, is angry with Othello for having denied him a promotion.

Hamlin's careful blocking makes every drunken soldier's drunken move part of one grand theatrical effect--and everything meshes neatly behind Cassio's supremely pathetic disclaimers of intoxication. Half the tension of the scene...
