With a Black-led production of Shakespeare’s play, an Austrian theater hopes to jump-start a conversation about racism and the need for diversity on the country’s stages.

Nicholas Monu, who stars in a new production of “Othello,” running through Dec. 4 at the Landestheater Niederösterreich here, is pretty sure that he is only the second Black performer to play the role in Austrian theater history. The last time was nearly 170 years ago, in 1853, when the pioneering African-American actor Ira Aldridge held Viennese audiences spellbound as the Moor of Venice...

...His strikingly contemporary production is set in the world of professional boxing, where Othello is a heavyweight prizefighter. “My idea was of someone who was incredibly lonely and someone who was isolated,” Henry said.That sense of exclusion and alienation, the director said, was something that everyone, regardless of their skin color, could relate to. The boxing frame also helped to motivate Iago’s machinations and reveal the character’s racism, he added. “Iago’s manipulations and reasonings became more alive, because boxing is so competitive and relies on intrigue,” Henry said.

it makes more sense to me that sully went to randal for help to cheat instead of doing it while he was in there competing. we never saw it but they would have on the camera! i think he asked randal for help to cheat just for mike cuz they both know that mike just isnt very scary on his own. thats why he specifically is upset with sully. not because they happened to compete directly that round and he ruined it for randal but because that happened on top of the humiliation in fron of his own team and their loss and after he did a favor for him.
