Nikolai Roshchin continues to cleanse the original meanings of classical plays from later layers and clichéd views. Classics in Nikolai Roshchin's productions sound modern because the director addresses the original meanings embedded in the plays by their authors. Roshchin is staging Shakespeare for the first time. He decided to present the tragedy, which took place against the backdrop of the Venetian-Turkish war of the late 16th century, from different perspectives. Othello, Iago, and Desdemona are given the right to express their views on the events. "Othello" has not been staged on the Alexandrinsky stage for a long time; the last production before Roshchin was in 1993.
