Lenny Henry
About this listen
A BBC Radio 4 production of Othello, starring Lenny Henry in title role. The comic makes his stage debut as the tortured Moor.
One of Shakespeare's most revered tragedies, the play tells the story of a noble African commander in the service of the Venetian army, whose mind is poisoned against the one he loves by the jealous and hate-filled Iago. The production opened at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and subsequently toured the country before arriving in London's West End to rave reviews.

Just Incredible
The story is captivating and the performance is mesmerising. This rendering of Othello is worth every penny and every second.

Powerful and moving
Lenny Henry is raw, murderous emotion. This is a wonderful program! So well-acted by all, especially Henry.

Impressive
Lenny Henry has, apparently, spent most of his career doing comedy. He gives an impressive performance here as Othello: brooding, demanding, bellowing: a man of deep love and honor, a man barely contained by the limits of the play. I wasn't familiar with him or the other members of the cast, but they are all wonderful. The actress playing Desdemona is somewhat more spirited than usual - which is a good thing! I think the action surrounding the attack on Cassio is a little unclear, but I'm willing to chalk that up to momentary inattention on my part. A beautiful, powerful production.

Couldn't pass the idea of Lenny Henry as Othello
And I'm so glad I didn't. His was an outstanding performance, as was that of the whole cast. The characterizations seemed to me most appropriate. Emotions, inflections and pace matched well the scenes. I was quite engaged in the tragedy and could feel the manipulative evil of Iago. Well done indeed!
