This was an interesting play, but the flaws in the characters are so inflexible that it actually makes it less believable to me. Overall though, it was entertaining.

My second foray into Shakespeare after Macbeth, and I’ve got to say, I have never loved to hate a villain more than Iago. Such an amazingly crafted play about jealousy, power, and racial undertones.
