Othello

Othello was a play by William Shakespeare.

Claire Westbrooke, while in college, played the role of Desdemona in an amateur dramatic production of Othello. (PROSE: The Age of Ambition ^[+]Loading...["The Age of Ambition (short story)"])

A London resident commented in 1605 that Bill Shakespeare had a new play "about a Moorish soldier who kills his wife in a fit of jealousy". (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot ^[+]Loading...["The Gunpowder Plot (video game)"])

When the Daleks came through the mirror of Mariah Learman and Professor Osric's time machine, Learman said "Perdition catch my soul" and "Chaos has come again". The Dalek pilot, who was actually a future version of Learman herself, identified the quotations as originating from Othello which led the human Learman to believe that the Daleks were Shakespearean scholars.
