Intiman to perform Othello

This just in from Sam Saunders:

Othello is to be performed July 7 -- August 2 in the Intiman Playhouse. It is part of the arrangement with Bartlett Sher, Seattle's famed (award winning) Artistic Director at Intiman who transported his South Pacific from Seattle to New York (and it was so well received he became half New Yorker and half Seattleite and now he is giving up his job here to take one half in New York and half in Germany) so now is bringing the entire company from New York's Theatre for a New Audience to perform Othello here.

The New York Time's review of the production there said it was the best Shakespearian production there in the last ten years.

If Ruth Ann and I should see you in the courtyard at the fountain before the afternoon performance on July 18th at the Intiman Playhouse, I will get you a cup of coffee and smile.

Sam the Wranglert.
