Bob Peck's Iago is affable, likeable even; but above all he is plausible. And, of course, this is just what he should be. Othello might be of a "free and open nature...that thinks men honest that but seem so," but his military record shows that he can't be a complete fool. In this production Iago sows suspicion in Othello in a low key, his voice half hushed with a mixture of incredulity and regret at what he has discovered. Now that one has seen a breakaway from the usual black serpant interpretation of the character, it is hard to believe that this former, stereotyped version ever really worked. - Sally Aire, Plays and Players, November 1979 |
