William Shakespeare's Othello is adapted and directed for radio by Emma Harding. This production features Khalid Abdalla as Othello, Matthew Needham as Iago, and Cassie Layton as Desdemona, among others. Set in an imagined near future, the story unfolds as a power-hungry Turkish president attempts an attack on Cyprus.

As western forces rush to Cyprus's defense under the command of the fearless General Othello, the narrative explores themes of acceptance and identity. Can an Arab-born Christian convert ever be truly accepted by the people he serves? This thought-provoking adaptation brings Shakespeare's tragedy to life in a contemporary context.
