I have a ticket for three different dates, but I also have a travel work schedule that takes precedence, unfortunately, so I have no idea how many of the shows I can see, if any. Of course I'll try to travel around the dates, but it's out of my control. I wish i had time to read the play first....Not much worse than watching Shakespeare and wondering what's going on.

Me too. I'm not a Shakespeare fan but will try to follow along.
Hope we can meet up for one of the dates.

If I would go, I couldn't careless about Shakespeare. Just seeing and hearing him say his lines woud be enough for me.

If you've not got time to read the play. The film version of 'Othello' with Kenneth Branagh and Laurence Fishburne is a good watch.

It should at least fill you in on the basic plot elements.

I read it years ago. Iago is one nasty character. Something for DC to sink his teeth into.

WISH I could go!

To see Daniel act on stage is one of my dreams/hopes for the future. My only consolation is that I am not a Shakespeare fan either....
Could he not perhaps do a play in LONDON?

(Watch tickets vanish at the speed of light if he ever does...

)

Btw, nice to see you back and posting Sf.

This is a good idea. Thanks. And thank you, SDK. Well wouldn't you know it, I was in on a conference call yesterday and according to the launch team leader for this new drug being approved, I will have to be in the UK on the date of my first ticket. I'm going to post an ad on Craig's List or call the theater to see about switching with someone. I'm not looking forward to the Shakespeare part but am hoping for a full showing of arms!

We can only wish you luck, that at least, you get to see it once.

From what I read you need to ring NYTW to return but I may be wrong. I don't think you can just tout them because you need ID to pick them up two hours before the performance.

And they tend to be very vigilant about this.

This looks crazy but boy, is he ripped

To go and see that for three hours plus and listen to that voice. - wow

This is so cool.
The audience is very close to the stage. The actors practically "touch".

I made the "ripped" Daniel bigger.

BTW: He looks good and he likes the blond hair. He does not have to wear such an ugly beard as in "A Steady Rain".
