I've read it and seen it performed. It's not my favorite Shakespeare, but I do happen to be a soft touch as far as all Shakespeare's work goes... I love the pretty language.

Othello has some of the most quotable quotes of any of Bill's plays.
"I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking."
"O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil!"
"Come, come, good wine is a good familiar creature, if it be well used; exclaim no more against it."
It is ironic that at the appropriate time to use the above quotes, recalling them may prove difficult
"'Tis neither here nor there."
"It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,
Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars!
It is the cause. Yet I'll not shed her blood;
Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental alabaster.
Yet she must die, else she'll betray more men.
Put out the light, and then put out the light."
"Kill me to-morrow: let me live to-night!"
"O beware, my lord, of Jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on."

Not to mention a choice selection of lines involving goats and monkies.
