Bard on the Box: Shakespeare - the Animated Tales: Othello

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In the last in the series, the playwright's most famous dramatic study of jealousy and its tragic effects are conveyed vividly in a striking drawn animation style. The warmth of the Mediterranean contrasts with the coldness in Iago's heart as he turns his noble master, Othello, against the beautiful and innocent Desdemona.
