Othello trip On Wednesday the 5th of
November, a group of Y13s
abandoned the glittering delights
of bonfire night to watch one of
Shakespeare’s most explosive
plays. At the new CAST arts
venue in Doncaster they watched
a fast paced modern adaptation
of Othello, updated so that the
action moved from Venice and
Cyprus to the Cypress Pub on a
West Yorkshire estate. Despite
an extremely modern setting and
dress, the script was performed
in the original Jacobean
language but with a distinct
Yorkshire accent. This was a
taut, violent and darkly humorous
roller coaster ride of emotions.
