Oh, Trudy, you reminded me that I was lucky enough to see him perform Othello at the Shakespeare Theater at the Folger around 1990 -- it was a great performance, and I remember also being utterly struck by Andre Braugher's performance as Iago -- it was the first I'd seen or heard of Braugher, and he was amazing. The two of them together is one of my favorite theater memories.
Wow, that must have been incredible. What a great experience!
Oh, I meant to mention to the Midnight Burger people (and anyone else interested in an audio drama podcast with short episodes): if you're looking for something to fill the Midnight Burger gap, we've started listening to McGillicuddy and Murder's Pawn Shop. It's set in the 1920s, and it's magical realism/period drama/dark comedy. The podcast is narrated and performed by one woman, and the episodes are about 10 minutes. I think there's 5 seasons.
It's entertaining, the narration is maybe just a *bit* on the twee side, but it's clever and a good story.
