Othello the Remix is a hip hop adaptation of this play. The Q Brothers are the writers and directors. The play was recently performed at the Auckland Festival. In the following video they also took their production to a prison. Rap music brought Othello to life for these prisoners and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Just goes to show that Shakespeare's stories are timeless.
