| Description |
…the production seemed to stress the literalness of the action in such a way as to muffle its poetic overtones. … Visually the play was rich and exciting. Tanya Moiseiwitsch gave it a Venetian brilliance; the effect was lavish, but the means were sparing; a few colour-themes ran through the play, helping to relate the scenes one to anther - the yellow canopy and the peach-and-pink cushion in the Cyprus scenes, Desdemona's gold dress in the Willow scene, the yellow bed curtains of her chamber. |
