Originally conceived as part of a series of modern adaptations tackling contemporary issues, this version of Othello (2001) was commissioned as a single drama by ITV a few years after the London Metropolitan Police was accused of 'institutional racism' following an inquiry into the death of Stephen Lawrence.
