Play :: The earliest recorded performance of Othello was given on 1 November 1604 at Whitehall. The play was first printed in 1622. It appeared again a year later in the First Folio collection of Shakespeare's plays. Modern editions and productions conflate the two printed texts but they are very different. Is the 1622 edition closer to the version that the Court audience heard in 1604? We celebrate the 400th anniversary of that performance with a rare opportunity to hear the 1622 text.
