Lara Foot’s Othello at the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees 2024: Merwe van Gent’s review

“Lara Foot’s direction in this adaptation of Othello expertly weaves historical context with Shakespeare’s text, creating a multilayered narrative that speaks powerfully to contemporary issues. Foot’s directorial choices highlight the insidious nature of colonialism and racism, using these themes to deepen the emotional and psychological complexity of the characters and their interactions.”
