Passionate Love in a Prejudiced World. An exploration of Shakespeare’s intense tragedy, masterfully directed by Bill Rauch. This audiobook delves into themes of racism, religious bias, and xenophobia, as well as the more disturbing aspects of relationships, within the context of our society’s ongoing struggle with deep-seated differences.

The story follows Othello, a Moorish general whose military successes are overshadowed by the prejudice he faces after marrying Desdemona. As the newlyweds strive to overcome societal obstacles, Othello’s assignment in an exotic location entangles them in the schemes of his treacherous lieutenant, Iago, whose deep-seated resentment creates a perilous situation for all involved.
