news, views and reviews of Shakespeare on film (and in the Pacific Northwest)
Feb 25th, 2008 by John Murphy
Branagh and McGregor appeared on the British interview show “Parkinson.” Branagh is talking about “Sleuth” and McGregor discusses his performance as Iago in a stage production of Othello.
Shakespeare's Othello meets Spenser's Faerie Queene in this new and provocative mystery-thriller set in Milwaukee.
This is the story of James Ireton, a gifted young Shakespeare scholar haunted by a tragic past and recurring nightmares of a Knight, a Lady and a vicious Dragon. James thinks they’re just dreams, but when two people close to him fall victim in a seemingly motive-less series of brutal murders, James discovers there may be a very real Dragon preying in the shadows of his life. Worse, if he doesn’t find a bit of St. George in himself, the woman he loves may prove the Dragon’s ultimate victim.
