Othello: Trevor Nunn's masterful interpretation of William Shakespeare's Othello stars Ian McKellan as the conniving, treacherous Iago. Othello (acclaimed operatic bass Willard White) is a Moroccan nobleman whose marriage to the lovely and loyal Desdemona is untroubled by jealousy or conflict. That is until his trusted confidante Iago, who is envious of Othello's happiness, begins to scheme against the couple, and ultimately incites a jealous rage in the honorable aristocrat. Othello then commits an unthinkable act, driven in his rage by the jealousy of another. This critically acclaimed film originally aired in 1995 as a stage-to-screen production in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The Merchant Of Venice: The Merchant Of Venice finds Antonio, a merchant, trying to help his friend Bassanio to come up with the money to visit and court Portia, a wealthy heiress. They borrow money from the vengeful Shylock, who agrees to lend the money with no interest. The catch is, if the debt is not re-paid, he will have instead a pound of Antonio's flesh. Things go fine with the romance between Bassanio and Portia, but disaster with Antonio's business means he cannot repay the debt.
