Can I just mention I'm so glad I met you? I'm having such fun talking with you.
The production was, I think, right after the Restoration (1660), when the theatres were reopened. But it might conceivably have been earlier. I've read this a couple places, but I don't know where so can't check.
Yes, Othello is very creepy, and to me very sad. In a sense even sadder than Lear, in that Lear grows as a person while Othello is utterly destroyed. Although Othello's thoughts and actions are so much creepier than Lear's that it's as terrifying as it is sad.
I like your ideas. This will be interesting. Have you published Peterfic before?
