The organizers plan to host the play in a theater seating 199 for a limited time in fall of 2016. The director is Sam Gold, who won the Tony Award for best director this year. Craig has experience in theater and appeared on Broadway twice. He had expressed interest in doing New York theater again, but did not want to go back to Broadway. He reached out to Gold after seeing a play he directed. Gold got in contact with Oyelowo through a mutual friend and the actors read together. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve been wanting to do Shakespeare for a long time \u2014 it\u2019s what started me as a director \u2014 and I\u2019ve almost done Shakespeare a number of times in the past few years, but it hasn\u2019t worked out,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d Gold said. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the right thing came together<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10836\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/daniel-craig-david-oyelowo-othello.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/daniel-craig-david-oyelowo-othello.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/daniel-craig-david-oyelowo-othello-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/daniel-craig-david-oyelowo-othello-85x57.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/56250ca6d475a5ce0f58df29\/master\/w_900,c_limit\/daniel-craig-david-oyelowo-othello.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>They were all very interested in doing <i>Othello<\/i><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Othello<\/em> tells the story of a Moorish (dark-skinned) general in the Venetian army.
