A contemporary translation that emphasizes the racial malice at the heart of Shakespeare' s play. In her update of Shakespeare' s Othello, Mfoniso Udofia engages with the racial malice at the heart of the play. Udofia' s take on this complicated story emphasizes the rhythm and lyrical patterns of Othello' s speech. Opening up the text to modern ears, Udofia presents us with a code-switched Othello. This translation of Othello was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival' s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare' s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.
Mfoniso Udofia is the award-winning writer of the plays Sojourners, runboyrun, Her Portmanteau, and In Old Age. She is a member of the New Dramatists class of 2023. She has also worked as a television writer on 13 Reasons Why, Little America, and Pachinko.
