IQBAL KHAN, 2015
PRESENTED BY JYOTSNA SINGH
Iqbal Khan directed Othello in 2015 at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon. In an innovative twist, Khan cast two black actors, Hugh Quarshie and Lucian Msamati, as Othello and Iago. Collaborating with Iqbal Kahn on this fresh approach were the set and lighting designer Ciaran Bagnall, and costume designer Fotini Dimou, both of whom combined modernity with references to Venice’s rich history as a maritime super-power. Akintayo Akinbode’s evocative music was another crucial element in the play’s setting.
Iqbal Khan will be giving a talk in the College of Arts & Letters Leading Voices Series on November 14.
