Synopsis
Othello
Moorish general Othello is manipulated into thinking that his new wife Desdemona has been carrying on an affair with his lieutenant Michael Cassio when in reality it's all part of a scheme orchestrated by bitter ensign Iago. Filmed live at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London especially for the big screen.
The French Italian
Doug and Valerie have made a mistake.

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
