Fresh on the heels of the Hamilton phenomenon, entertainment icon John Leguizamo is delivering another modern spin on history with a hip-hop-influenced incarnation of William Shakespeare’s classic, Othello.
An 80-minute long, “high-energy spin on Shakespeare’s tragic tale,” OTHELLO: THE REMIX seeks to continue the long history of successful, often-ingenious merging of theater and words of old with hip-hop styles of new.
John Leguizamo is presenting the production, which was composed and directed by GQ & JQ, The Q Brothers, collectively. The two have been penning and performing rap-infused theater for almost twenty years. The production is running at NYC’s Westside Theatre.
The New York Times says that the show is “a fun and fresh interpretation of Shakespeare’s Othello,” while MTV calls the production, “nothing short of brilliant.”
