Elliot Dash as Othello has a barrel chested laugh
that is not to be missed.
Kevin Hamilton - NOSPAMaboutnets
Elliot Dash’s stage presence as Othello is undeniable; it demands instant attention.And working from a magisterial foundation of implacable dignity and graciousness, he creates a character rooted in reason, but afraid to look too deeply into his own heart. His ultimate decline into jealousy and madness is not abrupt or forced but gradual and immutable, as he takes great care to avoid the ravages of a wild imagination, but fails miserably.
