...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. Unfortunately, Amblad does not seem angry at all as he wields one or two inexpressive arm gestures again and again. The stage that seemed to have so much potential becomes a nuisance when actors turn around and throw unprojected, inaudible lines to about a third of the audience at a time. Every lighting change is accompanied by a melodramatic clang, and the actors...

...three years and more, the star-director and his ragtag band of actors hopscotched the Mediterranean, shooting a sequence whenever a few Eurodollars turned up.

Only one example of Director George Hamlin's all-inclusive application of energy and finesse is the night-time revel following Othello's arrival at Cyprus. A party of drunken soldiers and whores idle and sprawl with calculated precision to Iago's song-leading, and when Roderigo pursues an intoxicated Cassio (Michael Gurdy) onstage for some extravagant swordplay, the scene bursts into a Shakespearean streetfight. 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...
