The film follows the machinations of Hugo who succeeds in creating a doubt in O by poisoning his mind with tales of deceit and betrayal from both Michael and Desi.
When Odin selects Michael to be his right hand man at the court, Hugo, the envious son of Coach Goulding, resents being bypassed and begins to plot what to do to get back at O.
Odin, who is black has fallen in love with Desi, or Desdemona, the fair young woman who loves him in return. Odin James, the role based on Othello, the Moor of Venice, is the main attraction at the basket ball court. In this case, the action occurs in a small prep school in South Carolina where the emphasis is thrown to the basketball team and its star. Bringing Shakespeare to locations other than where the plays were set, presents an unusual challenge for whoever undertakes the risk. Nelson, being an actor himself, got great readings from his mostly young cast. With the help of his adapter, Brad Kaaya, they transferred Venice to South Carolina with mixed results.
Tim Blake Nelson trying his hand at directing decided to tackle a classic Shakespeare play, "Othello".
