Description
Paul Robeson stars as Othello in this 2019 drama about the tensions between friendship and rivalry among actors touring America in 1944. As they navigate their personal lives, the boundaries between their onstage passions and offstage relationships begin to blur. Revenge takes many forms, but in post-war America, it can also be disturbingly political. The chemistry between Robeson and his co-star Uta Hagen, as well as the rivalry between Robeson and his friend José Ferrer, becomes increasingly complicated. As the tour progresses, the actors' personal lives become intertwined with their performances, threatening to upend their relationships and reputations.
