This 1989 RSC production of Othello features a superlative, multi award-winning performance by the great Sir Ian McKellen as the dastardly Iago, alongside a rich and vivid portrayal of the eponymous hero by Jamaican operatic bass Willard White and a mould-breaking interpretation of Desdemona by director Trevor Nunns future wife, Imogen Stubbs.

Makes a trilogy of filmed Othellos
Possibly the best filmed Othello out there. There are three exceptional films of Othello available (I am not including staged versions on film eg from The Globe). The first is the brilliant b/w Orson Welles version, arguably one of the best-ever filmed Shakespeares. It has three drawbacks for the modern purist; Welles playing Othello is extraordinarily convincing, but is nonetheless not himself black; Desdemona is feebly cast; and the final scene is a bit of a mix-up with lines re-ordered etc. In filmic terms it has the best directon and camerawork of the three. The second is the Branagh-Fishburne colour film, richly, erotically shot, Branagh a spinechillingly amiable Iago, Fishburne criticised for his spoken Shakespeare, but I don't think he's at all bad. Another weak Desdemona. Perhaps for a younger audience? McKellen's Iago is easily a match for Branagh, and Stubbs an excellent feisty Imogen. Willard deals with his speech well I think. The setting and camerawork not lush like the Branagh, though not 'stagey' - it is a filmed verson of a stage play, however. So it's really how you feel about Welles, Branagh and McKellen, and how do you feel about Iago being the much stronger-cast than the Othello, as in the second two? Again arguably, Iago is the most interesting character - but a terrific Othello restores the balance in Welles' case. Read full review

"Othello" - 1990 RSC - Ian McKellen as Iago
How Iago ShOULD be played, unlike in the recently streamed, otherwise well-nigh perfect, 2015 RSC production.

Othello - RSC Ian McKellan
This is one of the best productions of 'Othello' I have ever seen. Ian McKellan gives an outstanding performance as the Machiavellian Iago, and Willard White portrays convincingly the jealous agony of Othello as he wrongly believes his wife has betrayed him with another man. Imogen Stubbs as the wronged Desdemona, and Zoe Wanamaker as Emilia, also give powerful and moving performances. 'Othello' is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, and this RSC DVD is a brilliantly directed and acted version of the play. If you only ever own one DVD of 'Othello', then this is definitely the one to buy.

Othello 1989 - McKellen
McKellen makes this the definitive working of Othello on DVD, he is wonderful and Willard White is a bad actor but not distractingly so. The set is almost empty and quite cheap looking for an RSC production, however its superbly acted and its Trevor Nunn darling, so you know its good.
