Stratford Stars in Othello Sunday

Othello: The Tragedy of the Moor premieres on CBC Television this Sunday, June 15, at 9pm. It will also be broadcast on CBC Radio One this Friday, June 13, at 7:30pm.

Director Zaib Shaik co-wrote the script with Matthew Edison.

The cast includes:

GRAHAM ABBEY -- Cassio
EMMA CAMPBELL -- Emilia
NAZNEEN CONTRACTOR -- Bianca
MATTHEW DESLIPPE -- Iago
PETER DONALDSON -- Brabantio
JOHN GILBERT -- Duke
JONATHAN GOAD -- Montano
RYAN HOLLYMAN -- Roderigo
CHRISTINE HORNE -- Desdemona
CARLO ROTA -- Othello

It will, of course, be difficult to stand Jonathan Goad playing a third-string character after seeing his Iago last season, but we'll watch it nonetheless. And then go see The Music Man.

Zaib Shaikh and Matthew Deslippe are Stratford alumni as well. Thought you should know. tx
