Iago vs Hamlet

Rod Peter Jr.—MTC Up the Alley

As a Shakespeare geek, this was right up my alley, and coincidentally at Up the Alley as a venue. Though these two characters never meet in the pages of The Bard, their acquaintance is very intimate on this stage. The premise is original and amusing; with these two characters somehow having booked the same venue, at the same day and time.

They also stay true to their original traits, with Iago of Othello sticking to his treachery and manipulation; and Hamlet of that play staying true to his all-consuming desire for revenge.

Bear in mind this is an incredibly comedic performance and very intelligently done. Loved this!
