This is the story of OJ Simpson the black man, who rises from the ghetto to become embraced by white mainstream society; the same society that watches his downfall with glee. It deals with the inner torment of crossing race and culture and the price of fame. The forces that pushed OJ into so much trouble are cross cut against the story of Shakespeare's equally troubled Othello, who driven to insecurity and jealousy by the lies of Iago, murders his white wife. Edinburgh Fringe First Award Winner 1998. Actor Frank Sheppard, who grew up beside OJ in the same neighbourhood, gives a stunning monologue. Video footage, stylish staging and a hard hitting hip hop and jazz soundtrack create a griping theatrical experience.| 19 Jan 00 to 13 Feb 00 | Riverside Studios Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
