- General
- The sound recording is from the 1943 Margaret Webster stage production at the Shubert Theatre, NY. It was the first time that a black actor played the role with a predominately white cast on the New York stage. Othello enjoyed the longest Broadway run of any Shakespeare play up to that time.
