OTHELLO - The Rock ShowMusic by Larry Hills, book and lyrics by Lyn HillsAn exciting musical concept that begins in Elizabethan times, then 'zaps' into the present, to tell the story of Othello the rock star and his treacherous manager, Iago. Adapted, but faithful to Shakespeare, the mood & feel of the language are used to great dramatic effect as we follow Othello, his band 'MORE', Desdemona (daughter of a record company executive), bass player Cassio & assorted roadies, groupies, journalists etc., on a tour that goes tragically wrong. Wide variety songs & styles from hard rock & blues to lyrical ballads, & minstrel folk song. 100 min. 2 acts, 1 stylised set, 20 speaking parts, variable chorus. 19 songs.
