A Double Life background

A Double Life

A renowned actor's intense portrayal of Othello sparks a disorienting convergence of fiction and reality, delving into the intricacies of identity.

Anthony John, an actor, is deeply affected by the characters he portrays. When playing comedy, he's a joy to be around, but when playing drama, he becomes unbearable. His wife Brita divorced him due to his intense dramatic performances, which made it impossible for her to live with him.
