From the Playbill interview:


What was one of your highlights from working on this production?
TS: I had this fear of walking into the room and seeing Daniel Craig/James Bond sitting with two bodyguards and I was supposed to say: â€￾This is how you fight,â€￾ and be laughed out of the room. It was a great relief to find that he is a wonderfully welcoming, lovely, pleasant, funny, down-to-earth guy. In rehearsal he’s just another actor in the room; he’s very mischievous with a wicked sense of humor.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Another German Review

http://www.deutschlandfunk.de/daniel-cr ... _id=373884

Daniel Craig, who is not associated with a bad guy by his role as a Bond, plays his Iago as a funny, sometimes frivolous comrade, who is a good friend with everyone and always has an encouraging word for everyone. His Iago has little to do with the gloomy and elegant martial arts aesthetic of his 007 appearances. He is always dressed in a nearly private t-shirt and jogging trousers, loose and comfortable like any other soldier of the ensemble. And one likes this Iago, as he forges his plans before and with the audience. Again and again he grins into the ranks when his naive victims run into the trap.
And Daniel Craig as the motor of the evening seduces his audience with a lot of charm and great stage presence, before he shows him the grim revenge of his revenge. One may hope that Othello will not be Daniel Craig's last Shakespeare.

Brav. I just ask myself, if really any German was there to watch it. But never mind, as long as they write good reviews :twisted:

The author of the article is in the Theater Business, so it's possible he was there.

There's an audio (it's from the radio, just the text of the article) on the site

Oh, I love this one. Daniel must be so pleased to read stuff like that. And very little mention of Bond in the reviews.

what a great in-depth review.

I have posted that here too http://www.dedicatedtodaniel.com/forum/ ... 397#410397

I guess some links to previous reviews can be posted in the Stage Work thread too.

Fell free to copy some of the posts there :wink:

On Tuesday evening BBC Radio 4's programme 'Front Row' featured an item on NYTW's production of 'Othello', with an enthusiastic report from David Rooney, chief theatre critic of the Hollywood Reporter. The item starts with an excerpt of an interview with Daniel from last year, where he talks about the play and the prospect of working with Sam Gold. It's on BBC iPlayer, starting at about 9 minutes 35 seconds.
