$16.99 Published by Nick Hern Books
2 Male 2 Female
Celebrated actor, singer and political campaigner Paul Robeson is touring the United States of America as Othello
His Desdemona is the brilliant young actress Uta Hagen
Her husband, the Broadway star José Ferrer, plays Iago
The actors are all friends
But they are not all equals
As the tour progresses, onstage passions and offstage lives begin to blur
Revenge takes many forms and in post-war America it isn't always purely personal it can be disturbingly political too
Based on true events, 8 Hotels was first staged at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2019, in a production directed by Richard Eyre
