Obsession, jealousy, betrayal. A powerful black man in a white society. Acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones's Diary, Moll Flanders, Pride and Prejudice) takes these themes from Shakespeare and reworks them into an achingly intense contemporary story set in present-day London. As racial tensions threaten to explode, political forces propel John Othello (EAMONN WALKER, Unbreakable, Oz) into a high-profile public role over the head of his best friend and mentor Ben Jago (CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON, Elizabeth, The Others). Seething with jealousy, Jago maintains a facade as the loyal confidant while seizing on Othello's obsessive love for his beautiful wife, Dessie (KEELEY HAWES, The Blond Bombshell, Wives and Daughters), as the path to his destruction.
