What is your favourite Shakespeare play and why? Why do you think it is the most special, what stands out for you the most?
Seth Margolis
My favorite play tends to be the one I saw performed most recently. But among the tragedies, it would have to be Othello. It's been my favorite since I read it in high school and later saw it performed several times. I think it was the rawness of the motivations and emotions that initially drew me, as well as the sense that Othello’s race, as much as the machinations of Iago, made his downfall inevitable. You spend much of the play wanting to call out "Open you eyes, Othello! Can't you see what's happening!"
