we've reached the stage of our first rehearsal and as you all know a fellow was a more he he was a what he was a more a more what kind of man is that well you see he was uh a general in the venetian state mr lamb is that in the united states he married desdemona burbanio's daughter and later on uh his good friend iago makes him believe that his wife testimony is unfaithful and in act five scene three i think that's called the handkerchief scene a fellow in a jealous rage kills his wife hey better change but later on there uh when he finds out that his wife is innocent in a tremendous climax in the last act a fellow kills himself then what and then othello dies that's the end of the play oh destiny just a moment now in the handkerchief scene desdemona you'll be stage right on a couch asleep i'll come in and i'll do my lines i walk towards you man mr lamb what about honey well why not can you imagine that peanuts oh acme honey what's wrong with peanuts backstage peanuts are bad
