OTHELLO

This larger, reworked classroom edition of Othello belongs to the Cambridge School Shakespeare series. The text has been enlarged and updated and is set in a fresh, attractive layout. Its hands-on method invites pupils into the play's imaginative world through creative tasks, encouraging them to explore Shakespeare's delight in language, his layered characters and the energy of live theatre.

The activities are gathered into themed strands with headings such as Stagecraft, Write about it, Language in the play, Characters and Themes. Glossaries are expanded and matched to the text for quick reference, and the endnotes offer detailed advice on writing essays about Othello and about Shakespeare more broadly.

Colour photographs show performances of the play staged in different parts of the world.
