Annotation:
	Argues that Lolita Chakrabarti's Red Velvet, directed by Indhu Rubasingham (q.v.) successfully draws on intertexts to engage with Othello's performance history and the history of racism in theater. Suggests that Chakrabarti positions her protagonist, Ira Aldridge, as "modern, unconventional, and ahead of his time." English and Spanish summaries, 141-42.
