Media Alert

To celebrate 60 years, the National Theatre is offering for a special free stream of Othello.

It will stream for free on YouTube starting today, on Thursday, October 19, beginning at 7pm BST (which is 11 AM here in Los Angeles -- so, by the time this is posted, it will be up and running).   And it will stay on YouTube until 22 October.  It will then be available for free on the National Theatre at Home website until October. 26.

UPDATE:  In an earlier version of this "Media Alert," I wrote that it starred Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear.  That was incorrect.  I wasn't able to find who was starring in this production, but tracked down that they had starred in an acclaimed 2013 National Theatre production, and figured that this was a repeat of that.  It's not -- it's a new staging done this year.  Sorry for the mistake.

This is where it will stream on YouTube here.

And this is the link for National Theatre at Home here.

Here's the official trailer for the production.
