I went to see Othello at The Globe recently. I enjoyed it for the most part but found the "let's appeal to a new generation by putting some cops and guns and lambrini in it" angle really irritating. It felt like an elderly person's idea of what would appeal to "the youth". Was Romeo and Juliet less cringey?
