stage left and starboard bow

By Catherine Jones on Mar 10, 09 02:29 PM

IT was a case of exit stage left and watch out for Klingons on the starboard bow during Othello last week I hear.
The tragic Shakespearen tale of what happens when the green-eyed monster jealousy strikes also featured green-eyed monsters (well, pretend aliens) in the theatre.
Apparently a group of audience members on the front row were dressed in Star Trek-style attire which promoted some out-of-this-world ad libbing.
My spy tells me: "Othello's lieutenant Cassio is seriously injured as a result of Iago's scheming, and as he was being stretchered away, a member of the cast exclaimed ''Cling on, Cassio!''
Iago was then later heard to exclaim: 'Go boldly to the citadel' - a line definitely not penned by the Bard."
