*Not the Othello you’re used to. Director Nicholas Hytner moves the characters from the frenetic atmosphere of modern London pubs to staid government buildings, and finally to the concrete and sodium vapor streetlights of a British military installation in Cyprus. This production of Shakespeare’s tragedy and its painful exploration of human psychology focuses not on race, but on Othello’s career as a military man and his inability to understand his young wife or anything else outside his disciplined world.*
