Othello

Fully Dramatized Audio Edition

By: William Shakespeare

Narrated by: Full Cast Dramatization

FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY
The World’s Leading Center for Shakespeare Studies

The Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world’s largest Shakespeare collection, brings Othello to life with this new full-length, full-cast dramatic recording of its definitive Folger Edition.

In Othello, Shakespeare creates powerful drama from a marriage between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona. Shakespeare builds many differences into his hero and heroine, including race, age, and cultural background. Yet most audiences believe the couple’s strong love would overcome these differences were it not for Iago, who sets out to destroy Othello.

This new full-cast recording—based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare’s classic—expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

Good cast

The cast was great. But some of the back audio was annoying at times and sometimes too loud. But overall it was a good version. I'm happy with my purchase.

Great reading

So helpful in making othello come alive. Highly recommend this ! Thanks for making it . Listen !

Exceptional Reading!

Loved every minute of it. I struggle to paint the picture of what I am reading but this audible reading, as I followed the hard copy book, was so easy to picture every seen. 100% recommended!!

WOW!

Loved It! It was truly a live-like narration. It felt as if I was at a live play!

Othello- iago my dude, what's your beef with Othello.

Overall I liked the story, my only criticism about it is with iago, kind of felt there was a lack of motives for the real hatred for Othello, no explanation whatsoever, Iago's character could have been deciphered more into it's character I like that he's a villain, cunning and deceptive but where does all this hatred derives from? Othello over blinded by jealousy , commits atrocious acts but I wish things could have been explained.
