The story

Celebrated stage actor Anthony "Tony" John is offered the lead in a new production of William Shakespeare's Othello by theatrical producer Max Lasker, who wants Tony's ex-wife Brita to costar as Desdemona. Tony initially declines the offer, to the relief of director Victor Donlan, who knows that Tony becomes overly involved in his roles. Brita agrees with Donlan and warns press agent Bill Friend that although Tony's mood is delightful when appearing in a comedy, he is terrifying when performing in a drama.
