Will Shakespeare buffs raise a stink? I've seen Ian Holm and Antony Sher play this role, but whoever heard of a blonde Iago?
Actually, this should be a wonderful production. Worth a trip to New York for.

It's been said about Daniel Craig that one reason his Bond works is one can as easily imagine him playing a villain as a hero. And now he's going to play one of my favourites from Shakespeare (In my penultimate year at school, studying A Level English Lit. the class had a read through of Othello and I got to play Iago - can't imagine why? )

Kenneth Branagh was a blond Iago, and a pretty teriffic one as well.

My wife and I enjoy travel, our main luxury. I get to the UK every few years, and I've toured Europe in 2010 and 2013 with orlandobond.
New York is a (long) day's drive from where I live (about 700 miles), but, unlike many Midwesterners, I love NY.
I've ordered the book of Fleming's letters, but they haven't arrived yet (and we're flying tomorrow). Tallon appears only offstage in Moonraker, but I confess I've become rather fond of the old duffer.

If Sam Mendes steps in as director, it won't matter! Come to think of it bring in Martin Campbell or Marc Forster.

He won't be the first Bond actor in the role: Timothy Dalton played Iago in LTK...

Most definitely. Although securing a ticket for sensible money will be the challenge, especially for a limited-run in a theatre with 199-seat capacity that is bound to sell out in minutes. I saw Craig on Broadway in Pinter's Betrayal and he had great stage presence.
