Othello is set against the fascinating, seething world of police corruption and racism, tension and unrest, in London in the year 2001. With as devastating and tragic an impact as when it was first written, Andrew Davies' - one of the UK's most acclaimed dramatists - contemporary screenplay brings Shakespeare's classic tale of jealousy, love and obsession into a modern environment using the universal themes of the original play to cast light on the world we live in today.Starring Eamonn Walker (Unbreakable, Tears Of The Sun), Christpher Eccleston (Cracker) and Keeley Hawes (Ashes To Ashes).Awards:New York Festivals 2003: Grand Award & Gold World Medal; Best Programme & Best Made for TV Movie, BANFF Awards 2002;Broadcasting Press Guild Awards 2002, Best Drama;Two Craft Awards, Royal Television Society 2002
