David Oyelowo on Daniel Craigâ€™s Rigor and Why â€˜Othelloâ€™ Is Still as Relevant as Ever

http://www.etonline.com/features/204027 ... _relevant/

From the article:

If anything, Oyelowo is focused on perfection. He, like Craig, is really hard on himself. â€œI donâ€™t mean in terms of feeling like weâ€™re not getting it right,â€ Oyelowo says. â€œJust the work -- the work to get it right. And more often than not, I find myself in situations where I am the most obsessed one on that set or in the play.â€

Now, heâ€™s found an â€œequally obsessive workaholic nutterâ€ in Craig. â€œThe rigor he places on himself and the text and the desire and need to pursue the truth is really amazing and is what I like to think I have as well,â€ he says as the two perform for a packed house night after night.

And that drive to get it right has bigger, political ramifications. â€œYou have to tell the truth,â€ Oyelowo says. â€œAnd that is hopefully what good plays do.â€

Thanks Cass.

I look forward to reading Pam's report.

The production seems to be going down well.

Here's a tweet from 30 November:
Julie Hegner @julz91
Saw Othello at NYTW tonight. It was brilliant and heartbreaking. And I quickly fell into the "let's just have one drink" trap after.

I am so glad, its dong so great. Everybody seems to love it. Hope, they can bring it to Broadway, even though, the atmosphere will be very different, less intimate and that might make it a lesser experience.

The boss is Finally reporting in. SF and my dates couldn't line up for othello she has to go off to London.
So last minute plans, found a flight. Works has been very quiet so no guilt.

Stayed tuned,
