Thomas Rymer was one of the play’s earliest critics; he produced a commentary on the
play in A Short View of Tragedy (1693). His writing is available here:

There have been numerous interpretations of Othello over the last 400 years. Virginia Mason Vaughan discusses four recent critical approaches: feminist, new historicist, marxist and post-colonial.

The uniqueness of this production owes much to the portrayal of Iago and Roderigo, the conspirators against Othello and Cassio.

The Teen Critic Program at Shakespeare Theatre Company allows high school students interested in theatre, journalism and/or critical writing the opportunity to learn how to view productions with a critical eye and write a savvy, persuasive theatre review.
