In removing the text, Borbonesa presents a deconstructed version of 'Othello' in which the storyline is plotted by the guinea-hens, baboons, blind puppies, strawberries and figs that inhabit the speeches of Shakespeare's human characters. These faunal and floral forms are arranged in their original sequence so the structure of the play is visually revealed. 'Othello - A Bestiary (With Floral Additions)' is illustrated by Ian Whitmore and issued in September 2011 as a concertina bookwork, with a foreword by Anna Fewster. It is available to purchase direct from Borbonesa and selected bookshops.

Welcome to the Borbonesa blog. We are using this, so that we can share ideas, particularly regarding our animation project 'Timequake'.
