A 21st century version of Shakespeare's drama set in modern day London. When political and racial considerations result in the promotion of British policeman John Othello to commissioner, his envious mentor and ostensible best friend, Ben Jago, plots to ruin him -- not only by disgracing him in the workplace, but also by undermining his marriage to the beautiful Dessie. |
