(If his performance in the FX series “The Americans” hasn’t de-John-Boy-ed him for good, this should do the trick. But too often here he seems to be relishing the opportunity of smashing his “Waltons” legacy to smithereens. Thomas, whose early fame came from playing one of the most benign fellows in television history, John-Boy Walton, is a very accomplished stage actor. Theatergoers have reason to be amused: It seems that everyone but Othello is able to see through the obvious manipulations of this shameless dastard. One sign of this is the way Iago’s duping of Othello consistently elicits laughter from the audience. The theatrical styles of Underwood’s smooth and mellifluous Othello and Thomas’ rather archly villainous Iago aren’t especially complementary.
It was the twisted pas de deux of deceiver and deceived, a dynamic requiring the complete immersion of the actors in the daily, hyper-masculine familiarity of this close-quarters relationship, with all its racial and cultural baggage.

There have been two extraordinary British revivals of “Othello” in recent years.

The following contains spoilers from the movie Hocus Pocus 2. This is a strong rendering of the play’s outline, and that will suffice for a summer night. Kathy Najimy, from left, Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker perform a spooky Blondie cover in Disney+s Hocus Pocus 2. Yet the production moves swiftly and clearly, if somewhat too broadly. (Desdemona’s “I saw Othello’s visage in his mind” has been curiously excised.) And some of the cuts to the text seem draconian. crosswind crosswinds crossword crosswords crotch crotchet crotchetiness.
