JaMeeka Holloway and Johannah Maynard Edwards discuss the Women's Theatre Festival's upcoming live virtual production of Othello by William Shakespeare in a modern verse translation by MFONISO UDOFIA. Udofia seeks to pull no punches with her translation of Othello that starkly illuminates the overt anti-Black racist language within Shakespeare’s text. Director JaMeeka Holloway talks about her approach to directing Udofia’s translation, key themes being uncovered, challenges her team has faced throughout the process and how she is navigating caring for her artists who have taken on this incredibly challenging material.
