Chris Ofili's new edition highlights the tragedy of Othello's plight in ways no other previous edition of this play has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn twelve etchings that Ofili has produced to illustrate this play, Othello is depicted with tears in his eyes, which flow below various scenes visualised in his forehead. Ofili asks us to see in Othello the great injustices that still plague the world today. These images add feeling to Shakespeare's words, and together they form their own hybrid object—something between a book and a visual retelling of the tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by the renowned critic Fred Moten, this edition is the first of its kind and puts Othello's blackness and interiority front and centre, forcing us to confront the complex world that ultimately dooms him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first play in the Seeing Shakespeare series, \u003cem\u003eOthello\u003c\/em\u003e is illustrated by English contemporary artist Chris Ofili.
