[lodfeycc] Iago

Retell the story of Shakespeare's Othello so the audience sympathizes with Iago.  However, it is a very uncomfortable sympathy because it reveals an ugly truth about themselves: they have been culturally indoctrinated to believe that certain marriages across racial, religious, or other social boundaries are wrong and should be punished and broken up for the good of society.

It will probably not be a popular play because no one likes leaving feeling bad about themselves.
