Adam Long was a founding member of The Reduced Shakespeare Company. His hip-hop version of Othello rattles through Shakespeare’s tragedy in just over a minute, telling the story of Othello who "liked white women and he liked green jello". The BBC has several special events planned over the next month to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Thursday 24 March 2016
