William Shakespeare

Frantic Assembly's electrifying take on Shakespeare's tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder, firmly rooted in a volatile twenty-first century. In a world of broken glass and shattered promises, of poisonous manipulation and explosive violence, Othello's passionate affair with Desdemona becomes the catalyst for jealousy, betrayal, revenge and the darkest intents. As relevant today as it ever was, Othello exposes the tension, fear and paranoia buried beneath the veneer of our relationships and how easily that can be maliciously exploited. Frantic Assembly's touring production was first performed in 2008, with revivals in 2014 and 2022. This edition of Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett's muscular, radically adapted text also features articles and interviews about the production and Frantic Assembly's revolutionary work.

Oversatt av Øyvind Berg. Kong Lear av Britannia er gammel og vil trekke seg tilbake, men uten å miste all makt. Før han overlater riket til døtrene, krever han at de erklærer hvor høyt de elsker ham. De to eldste, Goneril og Regan, smigrer kongen med falsk kjærlighet. Cordelia, derimot, elsker sin far med rent hjerte og nekter å smøre ham med noe hun oppfatter som tomme ord. Dette gjør den hissige Lear rasende, han forviser Cordelia til Gallia, mens riket deles mellom Goneril og Regan. Avgjørelsen blir kongens fall. "Kong Lear" regnes som et av Shakespeares og verdenslitteraturens høydepunkter. Nå foreligger stykket i Øyvind Bergs klare og vidunderlig lettflytende oversettelse til norsk.
