The Guardian
"Iqbal Khan’s gripping production has already made history by being the first at Stratford to cast a black actor as Iago. But I had not anticipated how many fascinating ideas such an imaginative piece of casting would provoke."
-
The Daily Telegraph
"The ensemble work here is terrific but it’s the inspired playing, and the crucial shift of perspective, at the heart of the production that makes this event as electrifying as it is long overdue."
