In 1971 Peter Darrell took Shakespeare’s tragedy and conceived Othello, a powerful and dramatic one-act ballet for New London Ballet. It was later performed by Scottish Ballet in 1978. The music was by Franz Liszt and the designs by Peter Farmer, and the original cast included Galina Samsova and André Prokovsky.
