Fences at Lyric Hammersmith draws Othello comparison in review

Original: Fences at Lyric Hammersmith: Stands comparison with Othello https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/theatre/fences-at-lyric-h

A new production of August Wilson's Fences has opened at the Lyric Hammersmith in London, and the Evening Standard's review judges it strong enough to stand alongside Othello in the canon of great works about jealousy, pride and race. Critics and theatre audiences are weighing the staging and performances against the play's celebrated Broadway revival history.

Why now: The review is drawing attention to a high-profile new London staging of a major American play.
