AUGUST AUGUST MARI WILSON Ready Steady Girls Friday 18 September 8pm £16.50, £15.50 conc THE PICTURE OF DOREEN GREY OTHELLO RSC Live After more than a decade working in film and television on projects from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Holby City,’ Hugh Quarshie returns to the RSC to play Shakespeare's Othello. The greatest general of his age, Othello is a fearsome warrior, loving husband and revered defender of Venice against its enemies. But he is also an outsider whose victories have created enemies of his own, men driven by prejudice and jealousy to destroy him. As they plot in the shadows, Othello realises too late that the greatest danger lies not in the hatred of others, but his own fragile and destructive pride.
