Players Present Fine Othello by Barbara Kauder
Columbia Players offered a spirited Othello with strong performances by Frank Longo as Othello and Hale Gableson as Desdemona, while Lewis Band’s Iago showed menace but suffered from weak voice. Emilia and Bianca impressed, with solid supporting work but overall diction issues. Costumes and set by James Austin enhanced the production. Grail directed, yet vocal training could lift the show.
