What happens
Iago, the ensign, plots revenge against Cassio and Othello, the Moor he hates. He persuades Othello that Desdemona is unfaithful with Cassio, and Othello's jealousy grows as Iago shapes the evidence against his wife. The episode is part two of a radio dramatization of Shakespeare's Othello, presented on Suspense on May 11, 1953. Richard Widmark plays Iago, Kathy Lewis plays Desdemona and Elliot Lewis plays Othello.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
