The Reader Organsiation pips Crucible to Wire Star Bardom
Shakespeare’s Othello will take to the stage at Sheffield's Crucible in September. Directed by Daniel Evan, this major revival includes The Wire stars Clarke Peters (Lester Freamon) as Othello and Sheffield-born Dominic West (Jimmy McNulty) as Iago.
This, for all fans of The Wire, Shakespeare and, well, anything-that-will-almost-certainly-be-brilliant, is a very exciting prospect but it's not the first time The Bard and The Wire have come together...
Cast your minds back 11 and a half months and you might remember that Sonja Sohn (The Wire's Kima Greggs), paid us a visit to read the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, as part of our Merseyside Community Theatre project.
