Company Interviews: James Graham as Iago
We asked James Graham, who plays Iago in our production of Othello, a few questions about himself, his character, and his history with the company...

What’s the best line in the play?
“O, you are well tuned now! / But I’ll set down the pegs that make this music / As honest as I am"
Shakespeare BASH'd is known for their love of karaoke. What's your go-to karaoke song?
I never do the same song twice, but always throw in a 90s boy band song.
If your character were at the Monarch Tavern, what drink would they order?
A whiskey and a beer
Everyone refers to Iago as 'honest.' What attribute do people sometimes falsely give to you?
That I’m organized
What is your post-show drink of choice?
A light beer
What have you done with Shakespeare BASH'd before?
King John in 2015. I love the time we get to spent investigating the play. I always learn so much.
What are you most excited for people to see in this production?
The joy of a BASH’d show is getting the opportunity to really hear these plays in an immediate and intimate setting. This one will be no exception.
